When it comes to mortgage companies such as Clydesdale, do Malden lawyers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

We previously appointed solicitors based in Malden on the Santander solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate charge for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Santander?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Santander but by your Malden lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Santander panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
