Myself and my husband have just had an offer accepted on a house and had an appointment on Tuesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to selecting a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will have to pay out an additional fee of about two hundred pounds. This is because they would then have to instruct a conveyancer to act for them in addition to the one we choose to act for ourselves and we are liable for their invoice. I have asked Leeds Building Society to supply me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
Ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society previously.
