Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Cherry Burton conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by senior management.

I’m about to sell my basement flat in Cherry Burton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you discharge the service charge as normal because all rents and maintenance payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed 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 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.
