I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Cemaes Bay. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all ground rent and service payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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.
