We previously selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Wycombe Marsh on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional amount for dealing with the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Nottingham?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Nottingham but by your Wycombe Marsh solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

How does conveyancing in Wycombe Marsh differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Wycombe Marsh approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Wycombe Marsh tend to acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Wycombe Marsh or who has acted in the same development.
I have been pointed in your direction by numerous property agents in Wycombe Marsh to find a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your site ahead of another?
We don’t give any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
