We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers locally in Eye on the RBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate fee for handling the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by RBS?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by RBS but by your Eye solicitor. Numerous firms on the RBS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
