We previously selected conveyancers locally in Sneyd Park on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate fee for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Sneyd Park property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Clydesdale panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, TSB are being difficult. The Sneyd Park solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Sneyd Park I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Sneyd Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.
