I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Brockley. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance 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 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.
