After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Holton le Clay accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Holton le Clay.

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Holton le Clay conveyancing search costs, etc).

In a rising market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to press on with searches.

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Holton le Clay. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just had a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as you normally would because all ground rent and service invoices will be apportioned 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.
