I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in West Ham. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a half-yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all rents and service invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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 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.

Our conveyancer in West Ham has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are buying in West Ham. The seller’s lawyers have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer says that as he is on the lender conveyancing panel he must check that the lender is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. A precondition to being on the lender approved panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects will the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected . Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
