As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Clydesdale but by your Ruxley conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Clydesdale panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

My wife and I have recently had an offer accepted on a property and had an appointment on Friday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to choosing a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of solicitors then we will incur an extra charge of £200. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to select a conveyancer to act on their behalf as well as the one we select on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have requested HSBC to provide me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?

You can enquire of HSBC what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Another option is to use our search facility and we should be able to locate a conveyancer in Ruxley on the approved list for HSBC.
