About to purchase flat in Consett. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Consett conveyancer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Consett with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

Midway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Consett. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount by the landlord. To date we have issued a cheque for £237 for a leasehold management pack and then another £200 plus VAT for responses to queries raised by the purchaser's conveyancing practitioner.
Neither you or your conveyancer will have any sway over the level of the charges for this information but the typical fee for the information for Consett leasehold premises is £360. When it comes to Consett conveyancing deals it is conventional for the owner to cover the costs. The landlord or their agents are not duty bound to answer these questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no legislation that mandates fixed charges for administrative tasks. There is no set time frame by which they are obliged to supply answers.
