We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Stanwell?

We previously selected solicitors based in Stanwell on the Principality solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional fee for the legal aspects of the Principality mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Principality?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Principality but by your Stanwell solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

We expect to receive a DIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Stanwell solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Stanwell solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.

I have just started marketing my 2 bed flat in Stanwell. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as usual as all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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 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.
