We previously appointed solicitors with offices in Leytonstone on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further fee for handling the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Leytonstone solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Leytonstone. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Barclays 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 Barclays 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.

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.
