We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers based in Southwell on the Lloyds solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Lloyds?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Lloyds but by your Southwell property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Lloyds panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am purchasing a property in Southwell. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society your lawyer must follow the formal instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Southwell.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Southwell. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A few days later, the solicitor called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
