In the absence of a mortgage, then almost all of the Fortis Green conveyancing searches are non-obligatory.

On occasion premises with no practical issues can still show up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Fortis Green should be able to give you some sensible guidance here.

I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Fortis Green.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed however I have just received a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as usual because all rents and maintenance payments will be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process
