We previously instructed solicitors based in South Hylton on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate charge for the legal aspects of the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?

The fee is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your South Hylton lawyer. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I am buying a new build house in South Hylton with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it may affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

It is unlikely the owners are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted South Hylton conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
My conveyancer in South Hylton has requested from me ID documents saying that this is part of his retainer as a solicitor on the bank Solicitor panel. Is this right?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not unique to conveyancing in South Hylton
