We had instructed solicitors based in Barton le Willows on the Nationwide solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for dealing with the Nationwide mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Nationwide?

This fee is not set by Nationwide but by your Barton le Willows property lawyer. Some firms on the Nationwide panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

I’m about to sell my garden flat in Barton le Willows. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the invoice as usual as all ground rent and service invoices will be apportioned 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 management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
