We had selected conveyancers located in Aberdaron on the Principality solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Principality but by your Aberdaron property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
Intending to buy a flat in Aberdaron. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Aberdaron lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
Our sealed bid on a detached house in Aberdaron has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Aberdaron. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with HSBC started?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Aberdaron conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some buyers would apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to press on with searches.
