I was scheduled to complete on my flat last Thursday. My solicitor is on the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel but has changed address in the past couple of months and had not advised Beverley Building Society of their new address. Beverley Building Society is now refusing to release my funds until such time as their systems are up to date with the correct details.
This is as unusual as it is unlucky. The majority of lender Terms of Conveyancing Panel Appointment specifically oblige the solicitor to inform the lender of an address change. Your solicitor needs to treat this with the utmost urgency. Do speak with or register your concern with the senior partner (assuming he or she is not your direct lawyer). Most lenders would be reasonable in this situation and expedite the resolution of this issue. It may be prudent to enlist the help of your local Beverley Building Society branch or your mortgage broker to see if they can assist.

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitors can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Beverley Building Society but by your lawyers. Some firms on the Beverley Building Society will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
