Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Lyneham. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just received a yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as usual given that all rents and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date.

This will smooth the conveyancing process.

    Please inform me if there are any major works in the planning that will likely add a premium to the service costs?

On the whole the cost for major works tend not to be built into the service charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Lyneham ask leasehold owners to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger works.
