I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Langham. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as normal as all ground rent and service invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Builders have put forward a lawyer and I've sought an estimate from them. They are almost three hundred pounds less expensive than my family Langham conveyancer. What's the catch?
Builders frequently have lists of property lawyers who are quick and who know the developer’s paperwork and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer won't put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they require an exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove unwilling to 'push' your interests for fear of upsetting the sellers. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your local Langham property lawyer.
