We previously selected conveyancers locally in Pelsall on the RBS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further charge for handling the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by RBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by RBS but by your Pelsall lawyer. Some firms on the RBS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

It would be prudent to start 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 contact information on to the EA.

How does conveyancing in Pelsall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Pelsall come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Pelsall typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Pelsall or who has acted in the same development.
