We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers locally in Todwick on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further charge for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Todwick conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Kent Reliance panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.

You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent.
