The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

My partner and I are purchasing a first floor flat in Faversham. When we first instructed conveyancing practitioner, they said that they were on all mainstream lender panels. Our mortgage broker emailed today to say that they don't seem to be on the Virgin Money approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we just find a new solicitor that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with Virgin Money appointing their own preferred conveyancing practitioner.
When buying a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the property lawyer has to meet. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your lawyer should call Virgin Money to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Virgin Money's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Faversham solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
