We are due to exchange buying a house in Penrhyn Bay but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the owner in the sum of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but UBS will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
Your solicitor being on a UBS conveyancing panel is obliged to inform UBS of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Penrhyn Bay.

We had selected solicitors based in Penrhyn Bay on the Leeds Building Society solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional fee for dealing with the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Leeds Building Society?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Leeds Building Society but by your Penrhyn Bay property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Penrhyn Bay solicitor - who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Penrhyn Bay postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Penrhyn Bay.
