I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Clayton-le-Moors. 95% of the properties have already been sold. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Clayton-le-Moors?
Where you are obtaining a loan, your mortgage company will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Clayton-le-Moors conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Clayton-le-Moors.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Clayton-le-Moors. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the maintenance contribution as usual given that all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
