We are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Frizington with a mortgage. We like our Frizington solicitor, but the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel solicitors or continue with our Frizington conveyancer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This feels very unfair; are we not able to require that the bank use our Frizington solicitor ?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Frizington conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Frizington. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you pay the invoice as normal as all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser 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.
