Myself and my fiance have recently had an offer agreed on a apartment and had meeting on Tuesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to appointing a lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of lawyers then we will incur a further fee of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to instruct a conveyancer to act on their behalf as well as the one we select on our behalf and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have requested Leeds Building Society to provide me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
