I am soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Copmanthorpe but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor of three thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but Skipton are not allowing this. Why were they involved?

Any conveyancing practitioner being on a Skipton approved list is required to advise Skipton of any changes to the sale price.

In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Copmanthorpe.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Copmanthorpe. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the maintenance contribution as normal because all rents and service payments should be allotted on completion, 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 until 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.
