We previously chose solicitors located in East Molesey on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate sum for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your East Molesey conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Clydesdale panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local East Molesey solicitor - who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Bank of Ireland will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your East Molesey postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in East Molesey.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in East Molesey I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in East Molesey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in East Molesey. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in East Molesey - 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.
