My husband and I are buying a flat in Pontllanfraith. My Conveyancer is not listed on the bank solicitor list. Can I still continue with my Pontllanfraith conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
One will need to have a property lawyer to complete the legal work required if you need a mortgage to purchase your home. They will conduct all the necessary investigations on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. You can appoint a Pontllanfraith solicitor of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancer appointed is not on the mortgage company approved list supplemental charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they should do so.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Pontllanfraith. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the maintenance contribution as usual because all rents and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
