We are selling our house in Leegomery. Will the property lawyer have to be required to be on the RBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS 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 at the moment.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Leegomery I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Leegomery suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Leegomery. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would given that all rents and service payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents 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.
