We had instructed solicitors based in Oakwood on the TSB solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional amount for handling the TSB mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by TSB?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by TSB but by your Oakwood solicitor. Some firms on the TSB panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
My wife and I are in the process of viewing flats in Oakwood and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Skipton.
It would be wise to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Skipton, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
