Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in St Annes Park. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in St Annes Park?

Conveyancing - in St Annes Park or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to remedy the problems before you complete your move.
