Can you help - my lawyer advises that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Holbrook conveyancing?

We had instructed solicitors based in Holbrook on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for handling the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Holbrook conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Principality will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Principality will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Holbrook.
