Do lawyers ask for an advanced payment for conveyancing in Ruislip Manor?
If you are buying a property in Ruislip Manor your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the search fees. Generally this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is payable against the sale price then this will be asked for shortly prior to contracts are exchanged.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Ruislip Manor. I need to find out if they are accepted on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you help?
You should phone your solicitor and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should get in touch with Leeds Building Society who may be able to assist.
I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Ruislip Manor. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

We expect to receive a AIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Ruislip Manor solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Ruislip Manor solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Ruislip Manor.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the invoice as normal given that all rents and service invoices should be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer 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
