As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Me and my husband have just had an offer agreed on a apartment and had meeting on Wednesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to selecting a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved list of property lawyers then we will be subject to an an extra charge of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to appoint a conveyancer to act for them in addition to the one we choose to act on our behalf and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have requested Leeds Building Society to send me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You should ask Leeds Building Society what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society before. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Leeds Building Society.
