We previously selected solicitors with offices in Ryhall on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further amount for the legal aspects of the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Co-operative but by your Ryhall property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from HSBC as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Ryhall. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Ryhall solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
HSBC would not normally require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC panel.
It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Ryhall bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Ryhall conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

How does conveyancing in Ryhall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Ryhall contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Ryhall typically buy the land, 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.
