We previously chose solicitors locally in Great Baddow on the Santander solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental sum for handling the Santander mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Santander?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Santander but by your Great Baddow conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Santander panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
About to purchase flat in Great Baddow.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Great Baddow property lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
