I have just started marketing my 2 bed flat in Toton. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and service payments should be allotted 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 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.

I am the registered owner of a split level flat in Toton, conveyancing having been completed May 2012. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Toton with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2085

With only 66 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £11,400 and £13,200 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
