My husband and I decided to purchase a newbuild apartment in Bishops Waltham with a homeloan from Barnsley Building Society.We would like to retain our Bishops Waltham conveyancing solicitor but Barnsley Building Society says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barnsley Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Barnsley Building Society solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barnsley Building Society

Last January I purchased a leasehold flat in Bishops Waltham. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
