We do not and cannot accept payment towards third party fees such as search fees, counsel fees, shortfall payments, or mortgage deposits. If you do make a payment of this type and misuse our system in this way, your payment will be refunded which could take up to ten working days, and could result in significant delays to your case. If you have queries regarding this, please contact our Accounts team in Mansfield on 01623 782 080 for more information.
