I have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Crosby to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your services over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?

I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Crosby. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal given that all rents and maintenance charges should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
