We had selected conveyancers locally in Leagrave and Chalton on the Skipton solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional sum for the legal aspects of the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Skipton?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Skipton but by your Leagrave and Chalton lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Skipton panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I currently have a mortgage with Santander for my property in Leagrave and Chalton. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Santander?
You must advise Santander before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Santander will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Santander directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Santander conveyancing panel solicitor.

three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Leagrave and Chalton completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Leagrave and Chalton with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this extras as it will affect my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
