I’m about to sell my garden apartment in Ainsdale. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as usual because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
