Me and my fiance are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Gomersal with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Gomersal lawyer, however the bank says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel solicitors or continue with our Gomersal and pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. This feels very unfair; are we not able to insist that the bank use our Gomersal ?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. A further alternative is for your Gomersal conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Gomersal. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a quarterly service charge demand – Do I pay up?

It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would as all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents 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.
