We had chosen conveyancing lawyers based in Bakewell on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for handling the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Barclays?

The charge is not dictated by Barclays but by your Bakewell conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Barclays panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Bakewell. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

My husband and I may need to let out our Bakewell garden flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Bakewell conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Bakewell do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
