I was recommended by numerous estate agents in Byker and Walker to locate a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your services ahead of a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Byker and Walker. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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.
