Me and my fiance are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Griffithstown with a mortgage. We have a Griffithstown conveyancer, but the bank advise he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no option but to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or retain our Griffithstown conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We feel that this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’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 Griffithstown conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
Having sold my house in Griffithstown last January yet the purchaser is e-mailing daily to say her lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?
Following your sale your conveyancer is duty bound to deliver the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. If applicable, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the buyers solicitors. There are no post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Griffithstown.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in Griffithstown. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the service charge as usual as all ground rent and service charges should be apportioned 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 management companies 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.
