We had appointed conveyancers with offices in Seaton Delaval on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional fee for handling the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Barclays?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Barclays but by your Seaton Delaval conveyancer. Some firms on the Barclays panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Seaton Delaval on 15/10/2025, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Leeds Building Society and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Are Leeds Building Society entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Seaton Delaval concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Do I need to be concerned about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Seaton Delaval conveyancing firm?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all recommend conveyancers to choose. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to select your own lawyer. You need to be aware that some banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.

My solicitor in Seaton Delaval has requested from me proof of ID documents asserting that this forms part of his retainer as a solicitor on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. Can you confirm whether this is the case?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the lender. This is not unique to conveyancing in Seaton Delaval
