Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Little Mill is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Little Mill conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I’m about to sell my basement apartment in Little Mill. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the invoice as usual because all rents and service charges should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
