This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Harrogate. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Harrogate?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Harrogate. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
We had appointed solicitors located in Harrogate on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further fee for the legal aspects of the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Harrogate property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by HSBC. Is it usual for HSBC to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Harrogate is approved on their conveyancing panel? HSBC have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I'm buying my first flat in Harrogate benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage 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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Harrogate. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as usual as all rents and maintenance payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
