I have just started marketing my basement flat in Catshill. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, 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 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
