We previously instructed conveyancers located in Isle of Sheppey on the Skipton solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional sum for handling the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Skipton?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Skipton but by your Isle of Sheppey conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Skipton panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

How does conveyancing in Isle of Sheppey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Isle of Sheppey contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Isle of Sheppey tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Isle of Sheppey or who has acted in the same development.

Back In 2000, I bought a leasehold flat in Isle of Sheppey. Conveyancing and Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Isle of Sheppey who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?

You do not need to incur the fees of a Isle of Sheppey conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
