We previously chose conveyancers locally in Canning Town on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Yorkshire BS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your Canning Town conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Canning Town bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Canning Town conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancer must follow the CML Handbook section two provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
