As is the case with many service providers, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may suggest solicitors to choose. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there might be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that some banks operate an approved list of law firms you have to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
I’m about to sell my basement apartment in Harrow Weald. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all rents and service invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
