I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Shildon. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as usual given that all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser 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.

I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Shildon, conveyancing was carried out in 2000. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Shildon with a long lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2102

With 76 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Am in the process of buying my 1st home in Shildon. Conveyancing lawyer has been chosen. The financial consultant pointed out that a survey is not appropriate as the house is only 20 yrs old.

You would be best advised to take a Home Buyer's Report. As the property was built more than a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. The report should highlight any obvious problems and recommend further investigation where appropriate. If there are any indications of material issues get a comprehensive structural survey.
