I am not in a position to travel far from Dawley and Lawley. Is there a reason why all Dawley and Lawley conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
A decade ago most banks displayed an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 instigated a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the property lawyers on your panel. As a result, banks have subsequently looked to extract more information from law firms regarding their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Many law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Dawley and Lawley. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
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. It is an essential part 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).
