Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Fulham conveyancing searches.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Fulham. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just had a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as usual because all rents and service charges should be allotted 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
