We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a Somersham based conveyancing firm?

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in Somersham. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as normal because all rents and service charges will 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 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.
