Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Birchgrove. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the service charge as normal because all rents and maintenance invoices will 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 next payment 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.
