Should I be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Swanland conveyancing company?

Nevertheless there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may put forward lawyers to use. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Swanland. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you pay the invoice as usual as all ground rent and service invoices will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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.
