I am considering remortgaging my property in Southborough, does my lawyer need to be on the TSB Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the TSB conveyancing panel, but TSB would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
I just acquired a flat at auction in Southborough. Conveyancing is required. What is next?

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Southborough. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Southborough?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
is it true that all Southborough solicitor firms on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Southborough. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as you normally would as all rents and service charges will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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.
