We had instructed conveyancers based in Paddock Wood on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional sum for handling the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?

The fee is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Paddock Wood conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Coventry BS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Paddock Wood. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Bank of Ireland be concerned?
As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Paddock Wood.

Is it usual for Principality to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Paddock Wood is approved on their conveyancing panel? Principality have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
