Draw down fee?

Hi all,

Does anyone know what a draw down fee is??
We have been told by our solicitor that our mortgage lender will be deducting a draw down fee.
Just wondering if anyone knows what this is for?

Many Thanks

Paul

    For the provision of the loan mortgage and the documentation/process required to do so.

    Have a look at your key facts illustration - section 8.

    The fee is normally described as a telegraphic transfer fee and will be around £25 to £35 for the lender to send the money to your solicitor electronically on completion day.

  • Thanks for the quick response, it makes sense now, we knew we had a telegraphic transfer fee, just never heard of it as a drawn down fee.
    Thanks again :)

    It would make life easier if we all used the same terminology.
