I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Virgin Money. Is it usual for Virgin Money to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Northwick Park is approved on their conveyancing panel? Virgin Money have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Northwick Park. 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. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element 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).
Despite our best efforts, we have been unsuccessful in trying to purchase the freehold in Northwick Park. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
if there is a absentee landlord or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to make a decision on the premium.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Northwick Park residence is Ground Floor Flat 17 Frognal Avenue in April 2012. the Tribunal agreed that a value of £160,000 for the extended lease was appropriate. This case affected 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 61.66 years.
My mother purchased her house in Northwick Park in 2008. She has got married, widowed and has recently married again. She intends to market the house next autumn. I believe she will just be need to provide a copy of the marriage papers to the solicitor however she is anxious it will hold up the conveyancing. Is it worth updating the title information for the property?
It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the register as long as you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the change of name resulted.
The buyer’s conveyancing practitioner should examine the registered information and need evidence by way of proof of the change of name for instance marriage certificates.
