Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of firms.
We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Redbridge on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional fee for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Yorkshire BS?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your Redbridge conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Redbridge. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Redbridge - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
