We had instructed conveyancers located in Telford on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Clydesdale but by your Telford property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Clydesdale panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

We expect to receive a DIP from Santander this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Telford solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Telford solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Telford and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Telford. We have lived in Telford for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

I am in the process of buying my first house in Telford. Conveyancing lawyer has been chosen. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not appropriate as the property was only built twenty two years ago.

You would be best advised to commission a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence was constructed over a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be enough. The report should highlight any obvious issues and suggest additional investigation if appropriate. If there are any signs of material issues get a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
