We had instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Stanford Le Hope on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional charge for handling the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Stanford Le Hope conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Stanford Le Hope building society branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Stanford Le Hope conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the property lawyer is on the bank approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
