Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Harlow. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Harlow I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Harlow in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Harlow

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Harlow conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.

I’m about to sell my garden flat in Harlow. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just received a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as normal as all rents and service invoices will be apportioned 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 next payment 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
