Will no one buy the property for half a year?

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Weldon
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Weldon conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Weldon. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as normal given that all rents and service charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer 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.

I pay a maintenance contribution for my property in Weldon. Due to losing my job and other issues I fell behind with payments. I negotiated a settlement schedule but there remains approximately £3000 currently outstanding.
I am under pressure to dispose of the property and I am worried this will jeopardize the sale if I have to discharge the arrears now. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?
Do clarify with the lawyer handling your Weldon conveyancing but it might be possible to agree for the outstanding amount to be transferred to the buyers. The purchase price due would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They would then discharge the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
