My husband and I are buying a newly converted apartment in Fillongley with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We like our Fillongley conveyancing lawyer but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society advised that she’s not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Norwich and Peterborough Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society

As with many service providers, often input from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may recommend solicitors to use. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement.

Last March I purchased a leasehold house in Fillongley. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, 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).
