My wife and I are due to exchange buying a house in St Leonard Shoreditch but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the seller of three thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet HSBC are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?

If you prohibit your solicitor to disclose the reduction to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you.

I have just started marketing my 2 bed flat in St Leonard Shoreditch. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all rents and service payments should be apportioned on completion, 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 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.
