We had instructed solicitors based in Higher Kinnerton on the Nationwide solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further sum for handling the Nationwide mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Nationwide?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Nationwide but by your Higher Kinnerton conveyancer. Some firms on the Nationwide panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Higher Kinnerton building society branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Higher Kinnerton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
