Is the fact that my conveyancer in Bow Street is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Bow Street conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I’m about to sell my basement flat in Bow Street.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed however I have just received a yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all rents and service invoices should be allottedon completion, so you will be reimbursed 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
