We had instructed solicitors based in Millwall on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further charge for dealing with the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by HSBC but by your Millwall property lawyer. Numerous firms on the HSBC panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Millwall conveyancing practitioners were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from TSB?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have TSB conducted the survey? Have you informed TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Millwall and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Millwall conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Millwall. Having lived in Millwall for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
