I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to use a Beverley based conveyancing firm?

Call the mortgage company to determine if they make available a monetary alternative.

We had chosen conveyancing lawyers locally in Beverley on the Skipton solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional charge for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Skipton?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Skipton but by your Beverley solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Skipton panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

The CML Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Beverley.
