I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Langham. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and maintenance charges 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 managing agents 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.

Developers have recommended to me a conveyancer and I've received an estimate from them. It's nearly £300 cheaper than my preferred Langham solicitor. What's the catch?
Developers normally have panels of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s paperwork and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer will not suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they demand an exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the developer. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Langham property lawyer.
