Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Stapleton. I would like to know the understand why all Stapleton aren't automatically on all bank panels?

Banks ordinarily restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some have made a decision to reduce the number of practices they use to act for them. It is worth noting that mortgage companies have no accountability for the standard of conveyancing supplied by any Stapleton on their approved list. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the reduction of solicitor panels from 2008 notwithstanding that there are opposing points of view about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR reveal that thousands of conveyancing organisations only carry out less than three conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation question why law firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a bank panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Stapleton. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as normal given that all rents and maintenance payments should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies 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.
