I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Chorley. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

It best that you clear the service charge as normal as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies 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.
