We had appointed solicitors locally in Ackworth on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental sum for dealing with the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?

The fee is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Ackworth conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Kent Reliance panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
We were going to get a OIP from Nationwide this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any Ackworth solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Ackworth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.

Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Ackworth. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the owner to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer could issue a legal claim for losses resulting from an incorrect reply. A buyer’s solicitors should also commission an enviro report. This should reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be initiated.
