I’m about to sell my basement apartment in Broughton In Furness. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all ground rent and service invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
