My IFA requires my Walthamstow lawyer’ panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have called my local Walthamstow branch but they have not got back to me yet.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Walthamstow?
You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers if you want the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the mortgage company to see if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Walthamstow.

Last July I purchased a leasehold flat in Walthamstow. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
