We previously selected conveyancers with offices in Faversham on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Faversham lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
We expect to receive a OIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Faversham solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Faversham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
I currently have a mortgage with Leeds Building Society for my property in Faversham. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?
Leeds Building Society must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Leeds Building Society will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Leeds Building Society directly. You need not do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel firm.

How does conveyancing in Faversham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Faversham come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Faversham typically purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Faversham or who has acted in the same development.
