In the event thatI were to acquire a straightforward housein Dinnington mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Dinnington?

Any savings you would make would be isolated to the disbursement for searches. Your conveyancer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the vendors property lawyer, SDLT return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge but it will not be meaningful.

We had chosen solicitors with offices in Dinnington on the RBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for handling the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by RBS?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by RBS but by your Dinnington lawyer. Plenty of firms on the RBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Aldermore as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Dinnington. Do we need to select a bricks and mortar Dinnington solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Aldermore would not normally require a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

I am purchasing a property in Dinnington. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Lloyds your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Dinnington.

Various online forums that I have visited warn that are a common cause of delay in Dinnington house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Dinnington.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Dinnington I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Dinnington suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
