I can't travel far from Nunthorpe. Is there a reason why all Nunthorpe solicitors aren't included on all lender panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the the contrary view is that mortgage companies are increasingly anxious and feel it crucial to shield themselves against illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies have restricted their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Nunthorpe. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner 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 ensure 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).

Two months into buying a house in Nunthorpe. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the title is "Leasehold". Does this adversely affect our mortgage valuation?
Nunthorpe conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The key factor here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability significantly.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a material effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease provided to your solicitor.
