We had chosen solicitors based in Pontypool on the Leeds Building Society solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional fee for handling the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Leeds Building Society but by your Pontypool solicitor. Some firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
