We had appointed conveyancers located in Hinckley on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental fee for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?

I’m about to sell my basement flat in Hinckley. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as usual because all rents and service charges should 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 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.
