It is unwise to serve notice for your tenancy unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, contact to your lawyer and ask them to they apply pressure on the sellers solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will work to achieve

It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Tibshelf. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Tibshelf involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

I have just started marketing my 2 bed flat in Tibshelf. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as normal given that all ground rent and service invoices should be apportioned as 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 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.
