In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some banks for example HSBC made a decision to limit the number of conveyancers they allow to represent them.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in Appleby In Westmorland. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and service payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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.
