We previously chose conveyancing lawyers with offices in Pattingham on the RBS solicitor panel. They have just billed me a supplemental amount for handling the RBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by RBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by RBS but by your Pattingham conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the RBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Pattingham. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Leeds Building Society be concerned?
Given that your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Pattingham.

I purchased a renovated Georgian house in Pattingham. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Barclays . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Pattingham 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 mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
How does conveyancing in Pattingham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Pattingham come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Pattingham usually purchase the site, 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 Pattingham or who has acted in the same development.
