We had selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Fulwood on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate charge for dealing with the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Fulwood conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am expecting a DIP from TSB this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Fulwood solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Fulwood solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.

The search should reveal information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject headings.
I'm buying a new build house in Fulwood benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it could impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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 have been pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in Fulwood to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your site over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any commission for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
