We had appointed conveyancing lawyers located in New Southgate on the RBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate charge for handling the RBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by RBS?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by RBS but by your New Southgate solicitor. Numerous firms on the RBS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Skipton are being pedantic. The New Southgate solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Intending to buy a apartment in New Southgate. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the New Southgate lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in New Southgate I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in New Southgate in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
