Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Longlands. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just had a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the maintenance contribution as normal given that all rents and service payments should 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 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

New build sellers have recommended to me a conveyancer and I've sought an estimate from them. They are nearly £300 cheaper than my preferred Longlands lawyer. What's the catch?
Housebuilders frequently have lists of lawyers who expedite matters and who know the developer’s documentation and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to choose their approved lawyer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they want exchange within a tight time frame. The argument for not agreeing to use the recommended solicitor is that they may be unwilling to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should stick with your high street Longlands conveyancing practitioner.
