We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers locally in East Finchley on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your East Finchley conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
My wife and I have organised the release of further monies on our mortgage from Skipton as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our house in East Finchley. Do we need to appoint a high street East Finchley solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Skipton would not normally require firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton list.
