You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I have just started marketing my ground floor flat in Soho.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated but I have just had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?

Most management companies 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
