Your property lawyer being on the Aldermore approved list is obliged to advise Aldermore of any amendments to the sale price.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Mundesley. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and service payments will be allotted as 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 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.
