I have been pointed in your direction by three or four local selling agents in Coningsby to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your site ahead of a competitor’s?
We don’t offer any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’.

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Coningsby. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
