We previously instructed conveyancers located in Trimdon on the Virgin Money solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further sum for dealing with the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Virgin Money but by your Trimdon conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Virgin Money panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Trimdon. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A few days later, the lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Trimdon I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Trimdon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
