I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Chadwell St Mary. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal as all ground rent and service payments should 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 next payment date.
