When you take a first time buyer mortgage product, that offers our Legal Service we will pay part of the legal costs as agreed with our legal adviser in completing the purchase and mortgage. These costs are limited to their fee for carrying out the legal work in a straightforward case where the title to the property you are buying is registered freehold (heritable in Scotland).
To qualify for this mortgage product you must instruct our nominated legal advisor. If you have already instructed a legal adviser, or simply prefer to choose your own, then we may have alternative mortgage products available, which may suit your circumstances better.
Please note: our payment does not include all the costs and expenses associated with completing the purchase and mortgage. Those costs and expenses listed below will not be included:
These costs will be your responsibility.
This service only applies for applications made directly to the Society, and is not available for applications made via an intermediary or other third party. If you use this service and your purchase and mortgage does not complete then any reasonable costs and fees which our legal adviser has incurred will be payable by you.
Please ask your local branch for the details of the local legal adviser who provides this service for us. Full details of the charges made by the local legal adviser will be set out in their initial letter to you as required by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and if you are unsure about any charges that are being made over and above those paid for by the Society you should ask the legal adviser for a full explanation.
