I am the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in South Cave. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in South Cave. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the service charge as normal as all ground rent and service charges will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
