My flat in Ludlow is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will the solicitor have to be required to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Yorkshire BS 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 currently.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Ludlow I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ludlow in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
Should I be wary by estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Ludlow conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often input from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all recommend solicitors to select. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that some banks specify a panel list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Ludlow. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance charges should be apportioned 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 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.
