We previously chose solicitors located in North Ferriby on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate amount for dealing with the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your North Ferriby solicitor. Numerous firms on the Coventry BS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

Me and my brother own a renovated Edwardian house in North Ferriby. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Nottingham Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in North Ferriby and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

Most North Ferriby leasehold properties will incur a service charge for maintenance of the block set on behalf of the management company. Where you buy the apartment you will have to meet this amount, normally periodically during the year. This may differ from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks. In all likelihood there will be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, normally this is not a large amount, say about £25-£75 but you need to check it because sometimes it could be many hundreds of pounds. Generally speaking the cost for major works are not included within service charges, albeit that some managing agents in North Ferriby require tenants to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for larger works.
