My husband and I wish to acquire a purpose built flat in Whitefield with a residential mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We would like to retain our Whitefield conveyancing practitioner but Platform Home Loans Ltd says his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Platform Home Loans Ltd use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd
The deeds to our property are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Whitefield 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Whitefield. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as normal as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportioned on completion, 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 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
