We previously appointed solicitors based in Kegworth on the Skipton solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate fee for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Skipton?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Skipton but by your Kegworth conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Skipton panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

My lawyers in Kegworth have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the bank. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?

That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
