These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor should know exactly where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you may purchase or sell your property without any difficulty.

The primary upside of using a high street Burslem conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign documents, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate.

If if people you trust used your friend and the majority were content that must trump using an unfamiliar Burslem conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Burslem. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just had a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the invoice as usual as all rents and service invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed 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 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.
