I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would prefer to appoint a Spilsby based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you accept the "fee-free" deal. Contact the mortgage company and explore if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Spilsby.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Spilsby. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
