Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Tower Hill conveyancing practitioners were selected. How long does it take for Santander to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?

I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Tower Hill. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as normal because all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents 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.
