My mortgage broker has asked me for my Brighouse and Rastrick lawyer’ panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have tried my local Brighouse and Rastrick office but they have not responded to me.

We have rather pushy vendors who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
This type of contract is unusual in Brighouse and Rastrick, conveyancers will often encourage clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the proprietor has entered into a lock out agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they receive a big enough offer to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be duty bound to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equate the extra amount that your seller may obtain by reneging on the contract, however morally reprehensible that may be.

I am selling my house in Brighouse and Rastrick. Will my lawyer need to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently in recent years.
I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Brighouse and Rastrick. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just received a quarterly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and service payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
