I have just appointed agents to market my basement flat in Kingsthorpe. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, 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 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.

I purchased a split level flat in Kingsthorpe, conveyancing having been completed May 2002. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Similar flats in Kingsthorpe with a long lease are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2100
