I decided to go with a St Paul's Cray based lawyer for our conveyancing in St Paul's Cray last week. After carefully reading the official terms of business I notewe are on the hook for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and appoint an on-line conveyancing company promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in St Paul's Cray?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to offset those conveyances that fail to complete. Dont forget that such offerings rarely protect you from outlay by way of example St Paul's Cray conveyancing search charges.

I’m about to sell my basement flat in St Paul's Cray. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed 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 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.
