My wife and I are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Walton Le Dale but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the owner of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price.

Registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Walton Le Dale. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you discharge the service charge as usual because all rents and maintenance charges 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
