We previously chose solicitors based in Rowley Regis on the Nationwide solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional sum for dealing with the Nationwide mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nationwide?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Nationwide but by your Rowley Regis conveyancing practitioner.

Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Rowley Regis who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?

Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

As a tenant I am on the hook for a service charge for my property in Rowley Regis. Due to redundancy and personal issues I slipped into arrears with payments. The managing agents agreed a settlement schedule but there remains about £3000 outstanding at the current time.
I now wish to dispose of the property and I am nervous that this can threaten to derail the sale if I have to discharge the arrears in advance. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?
It would be wise to speak with the property lawyer handling your Rowley Regis conveyancing but it might be possible to agree for the debt to be attributed to the purchasers. The final price they pay would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then discharge the fees once they are the owners.
