We previously appointed conveyancers based in Earlswood on the Lloyds solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental amount for handling the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Lloyds?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Lloyds but by your Earlswood conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Lloyds panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
Can I be sure that the Earlswood conveyancing solicitor on the Leeds Building Society panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Earlswood obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
We expect to receive a DIP from Coventry BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Earlswood solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Earlswood solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.

I am purchasing a new build house in Earlswood with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Earlswood I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Earlswood in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Earlswood. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Earlswood - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
