We had selected conveyancers locally in Rusholme on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional charge for the legal aspects of the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Coventry BS but by your Rusholme lawyer. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Co-operative. Is it usual for Co-operative to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Rusholme is approved on their conveyancing panel? Co-operative have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
