Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Rotherham is more expensive?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by HSBC but by your Rotherham conveyancer. Numerous firms on the HSBC panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Rotherham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Rotherham lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Rotherham. Having lived in Rotherham for six years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything.
