Myself and my wife have recently had an offer agreed on a apartment and had an appointment on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to selecting a lawyer that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will have to pay out an extra charge of £200. This is because they would then have to select a property lawyer to act for them in addition to the one we select on our behalf and we assume responsibility for their fees. I have requested HSBC to provide me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You can enquire of HSBC what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC historically. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Alternatively please make use of our search tool and we may be able to locate a property lawyer in Bishop Auckland on the panel for HSBC.
