Administration charge or admin fee

All lenders have admin costs, some lenders charge these costs as an explicit fee and others will embed this cost within another fee such as a valuation fee.

What would happen is the valuation fee might be £210.00 of which £85.00 might be the admin fee and the rest goes forward to the valuer.

It should be noted that in these cases if the application does not proceed for any reason this element of the fee might be retained by the lender and therefore not refunded.
