We had instructed conveyancing lawyers with offices in East Grinstead on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further fee for dealing with the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your East Grinstead solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Aldermore panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in East Grinstead. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as usual because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer 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.
