Myself and my partner have recently had an offer agreed on a apartment and had an appointment on Wednesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to appointing a solicitor that if they are not on their approved panel of lawyers then we will incur a further fee of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to appoint a conveyancer to act on their behalf as well as the one we appoint on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have requested Leeds Building Society to send me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?
