My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Builth Wells

It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Builth Wells conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Builth Wells. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a half-yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as usual given that all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
