We are buying a newbuild apartment in Ruislip Gardens with a residential mortgage from National Westminster Bank.We have a Ruislip Gardens conveyancing solicitor but National Westminster Bank informed us her practice is not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a National Westminster Bank panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and pay for a National Westminster Bank panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the National Westminster Bank conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank

Last January I purchased a leasehold house in Ruislip Gardens. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
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. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure 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).
