We had selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Tutbury on the UBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further fee for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by UBS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by UBS but by your Tutbury conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Co-operative as we wish to conduct alterations to our home in Tutbury. Do we need to select a high street Tutbury solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Co-operative do not ordinarily require firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative panel.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Tutbury. I have a mortgage agreed with Virgin Money. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.
