I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Balby. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as you normally would as all ground rent and service charges will 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 managing agents 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.
