Is the fact that my solicitor in Great Ayton is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?

That would most likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Great Ayton conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Great Ayton. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as usual because all ground rent and service 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 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
