We had appointed conveyancing lawyers located in Seaham on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further charge for dealing with the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Aldermore but by your Seaham conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Seaham lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
