What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in North Harrow
It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest North Harrow conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers.

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in North Harrow. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as you normally would as all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
