When it comes to mortgage companies such as Lloyds, do Woodhall Spa property lawyers have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Lloyds as we wish to carry out improvements to our house in Woodhall Spa. Are we obliged to choose a high street Woodhall Spa solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Lloyds don't usually require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds panel.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Woodhall Spa bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Woodhall Spa conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender panel, they must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Woodhall Spa. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until 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.
