We had selected conveyancing lawyers based in Skegness on the HSBC solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further amount for handling the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by HSBC but by your Skegness property lawyer. Some firms on the HSBC panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Skegness conveyancer on the Coventry BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am buying a new build house in Skegness with a loan from Virgin Money. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Me and my husband are selling a Skegness house we inherited ten years ago in 2010. I have over twenty years conveyancing knowledge and, although retired, see no reason not to carry out the conveyancing. The purchaser's property lawyer has informed me that their Lenders will not allow you to do your own conveyancing as they require the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.
Lending requirements to conveyancers from all mainstream lenders specify that If the vendor does not have legal representation the buyer’s lawyers should check whether the mortgage company needs to be notified so that a decision can be reached if they are willing to proceed.
