Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Sileby. What is the rationale as to why all Sileby property lawyers aren't included on all lender panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for banks to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or solicitor’s perspective, the the contrary view is that banks are increasingly anxious and regard it imperative to shield themselves from mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern lenders are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
IfI were to purchase a freehold homein Sileby mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Sileby?

We had chosen conveyancers locally in Sileby on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental charge for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Clydesdale but by your Sileby property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Clydesdale panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. 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.
