Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Newtown conveyancing searches.

    Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I pay a service charge for my flat in Newtown. Due to redundancy and personal issues I slipped behind with remittance. The managing agents agreed a clearance plan but there is still approximately £3000 outstanding at the current time.

I want to sell and I am panicking this could hold me back if I have to discharge the amount due in advance. I'd like to sell up and then repay the debt from the completion monies - is this practicable?

Your conveyancer will hopefully be able to negotiate with the management company, with a new to seeing if they would accept payment from sale proceeds. This is indicative of why it is sensible to use a property lawyer in Newtown as they may well enjoy a strong line of communication with the parties.
