Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is expelled from the Co-operative Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Oughtibridge?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Oughtibridge. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the invoice as normal as all rents 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 next payment 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

You can appoint a solicitor now so that the lawyer can open the file so they can commence their AML checks etc. As and when you wish them to commence work they will seek a payment on account usually about £225. That would generally be after you have the loan offer from the lender and valuation report, however should you want to speed matters you can start the ball rolling sooner even though you may be risking some expense.
