Me and my wife are purchasing a flat in Manor House. My lawyer is not listed on the bank conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to retain my Manor House conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank panel?
One must have a property lawyer to complete the legal work required if you need a mortgage to purchase your property. They will conduct all the essential legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. One may select a Manor House conveyancer of your choosing. However, where the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the lender approved list supplemental fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

Last April I purchased a leasehold flat in Manor House. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
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. A critical element 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).
