I am in the market for a low cost conveyancer. Do I opt for a national conveyancer or a family Astley conveyancing solicitor?

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Astley. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you pay the invoice as usual as all ground rent and service invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, 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 management companies 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
