Is the fact that my solicitor in Nettleham is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of 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.

Should you be concerned you should contact the Nettleham conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Nettleham. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as usual as all rents and service charges should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
