We previously selected conveyancers based in Hedge End on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional charge for dealing with the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Aldermore but by your Hedge End solicitor. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Hedge End is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

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. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. 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.
