About to purchase apartment in Dolwyddelan. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Dolwyddelan lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Edwardian house in Dolwyddelan. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Clydesdale. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Clydesdale to clarify?

It is not completely unheard of in Dolwyddelan and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I'm buying my first flat in Dolwyddelan with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it may impact my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
