Nearly all conveyancing in Leven relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am buying my first flat in Leven with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Leven.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance invoices should be allottedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed 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
