We previously chose solicitors locally in Carterton on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further sum for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Yorkshire BS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your Carterton solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Carterton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
