We are purchasing a newbuild apartment in Hay On Wye with a loan from Bank of Scotland.We would like to retain our Hay On Wye conveyancing practitioner but Bank of Scotland says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Hay On Wye
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Hay On Wye conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Hay On Wye. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
In a situation 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. 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 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).
