My wife and I are intent on purchasing property in Adlington. My property lawyer is not listed on the lender solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to use my Adlington conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company approved list?
You must have a property lawyer to complete the formalities when you need a loan to purchase your property. They will carry out all the necessary investigations on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in order. One can appoint a Adlington conveyancer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the lawyer appointed is not a member of the mortgage company approved list supplemental fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they can do so.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Adlington. I have a mortgage agreed with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Adlington. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the invoice as usual because all ground rent and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
