I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Box. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance payments 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
