Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Arnold. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal because all rents and service payments will 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 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.

Is the freehold owned jointly by the tenants? You should want to find out as much as possible about the company managing the building as they can either make life much simpler or much more difficult. Being a leasehold owner you are frequently in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to day to day issues like the tidiness of the common parts. Enquire of other tenants what they think of their service. In conclusion, find out the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the relevant party and specifically how they are spending the funds.
My wife and I are acquiring a ground floor flat in Arnold. At the time of instructing our conveyancer, they assured us that they were on all major UK bank panels. The mortgage broker emailed just now to say that they are not on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a new conveyancer that is on their approved list or do we pay for separate representation, with Bank of Ireland appointing their own approved lawyer.
When acquiring a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is conventional for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancer has to fulfill. Some building societies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your lawyer should call Bank of Ireland to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Bank of Ireland's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Arnold solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
