Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Rhuddlan. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Rhuddlan conveyancer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Rhuddlan differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rhuddlan contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Rhuddlan tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Rhuddlan or who has acted in the same development.

Myself and my partner have just had an offer accepted on a flat and had meeting on Tuesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to appointing a lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will incur a further fee of £250+. This is because they would then have to instruct a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we appoint on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their fees. I have asked Leeds Building Society to provide me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
Ask Leeds Building Society what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the solicitor of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society before. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please utilise our search tool and we should be able to find you a conveyancer in Rhuddlan on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
