is it true that all Goodwick solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

We previously appointed conveyancers with offices in Goodwick on the Co-operative solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental charge for handling the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Co-operative but by your Goodwick conveyancer. Some firms on the Co-operative panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Goodwick. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
Coventry BS must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Coventry BS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel firm.

3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Goodwick took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm buying my first flat in Goodwick with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it could impact my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
We own a leasehold flat in Goodwick. Conveyancing was completed in 2010. I have been told that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to get too short. Is this correct?
Goodwick domestic long term leases are for a set period - usually ninety nine years when they started. However a significant appartments in Goodwick were built or converted 35 or more years ago and so these leases now have fewer than eighty years left to run. That may sound like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions generally need leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing seventy five years. To enhance the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore advantages to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is less than eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
