I am about to complete buying a property in Grove Park but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of six thousand pounds taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Santander will not permit this. Should they have been informed?
Your conveyancer being on a Santander conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Santander of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to report the price change to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Grove Park.

I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Grove Park. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as normal because all rents and service invoices will be apportioned 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.
