We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Mersea Island

Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Mersea Island conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Mersea Island. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as normal as all ground rent and maintenance charges 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 next payment date. Most management companies 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.
