I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to use a high street conveyancing solicitor in Great Stanmore?
Do check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers should you accept the "fee-free" deal. Call the lender and ask if they allow a cash alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Great Stanmore.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Great Stanmore registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any other parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Last September I purchased a leasehold house in Great Stanmore. 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 be sure 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).
