We are buying a newly converted flat in Southville with a residential mortgage from Barclays Direct.We have a Southville conveyancing lawyer but Barclays Direct advised that his firm is not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Barclays Direct panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Barclays Direct solicitor panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct
We previously chose conveyancing lawyers with offices in Southville on the Leeds Building Society solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional fee for handling the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Leeds Building Society but by your Southville solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Skipton as we want to conduct improvements to our house in Southville. Do we need to choose a local Southville solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Skipton don't usually instruct firms on their conveyancing panel 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 Skipton list.
The mortgage over my property is with Nationwide for my property in Southville. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nationwide?
You must advise Nationwide in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nationwide directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel lawyer.
