We previously chose conveyancing lawyers based in Ryde on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for dealing with the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Ryde lawyer. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Ryde. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Ryde.

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.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Ryde
It is improbable the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Ryde conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures set by head office.
