We had selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Scotter on the Principality solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Principality but by your Scotter lawyer.

Can I be sure that the Scotter conveyancing solicitor on the Principality panel is any good?
