They warned us that when it comes to choosing a conveyancer that if they are not on their approved list of property lawyers then we will have to pay out an extra fee of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to appoint a property lawyer to act for them in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have asked HSBC to supply me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel.
