We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Dunnington on the TSB solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for handling the TSB mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by TSB?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by TSB but by your Dunnington conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the TSB panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
TSB have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Dunnington has been accepted, what are the next steps?
The estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (make sure the solicitors are on the lender’s approved list). Contact TSB or your broker and finalise any outstanding paperwork. TSB will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to arrange a time for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. TSB will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Dunnington.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
