Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Sturminster Newton?

My Conveyancer in Sturminster Newton is not on the Yorkshire Building Society Solicitor Panel. Can I still continue with my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Yorkshire Building Society list of approved lawyers?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Sturminster Newton solicitors but Yorkshire Building Society will need to instruct a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total legal fees as well as result in delays.
- Find an alternative lawyer to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the Yorkshire Building Society panel

Last May I purchased a leasehold property in Sturminster Newton. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
