We previously selected solicitors with offices in Wallsend on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further amount for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Wallsend solicitor. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Wallsend conveyancing practitioner is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
