My fiance and I are buying a newbuild apartment in Todmorden with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank.We use our Todmorden conveyancing solicitor but Lloyds TSB Bank says his firm is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Lloyds TSB Bank panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Lloyds TSB Bank panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Lloyds TSB Bank use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Lloyds TSB Bank solicitor panel. in the past, most banks 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds TSB Bank

Last May I purchased a leasehold house in Todmorden. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to 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. 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).
