We had selected solicitors based in Bargoed on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Leeds Building Society?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Leeds Building Society but by your Bargoed solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
Leeds Building Society have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Bargoed has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel).

If other friends have instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that must surpass using an unknown Bargoed conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
Our conveyancing in Bargoed completes on Friday, but the people I am purchasing from has asked to move out the next day at noon. Do I accept this?
Where you need a bank loan then your lawyer will demand that the premises arevacant on Friday - the mortgage company will insist on it.
