As a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a maintenance contribution for my appartment in Clapton. Due to redundancy and other issues I slipped behind with payments. I negotiated a payment plan but there is still about £1750 left to be paid.
I now wish to dispose of the property and I am panicking this may jeopardize the sale if I have to settle the amount due in advance. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?
Do check with the property lawyer dealing with your Clapton conveyancing but one option may be to agree for the arrears to be attributed to the buyers. The final price payable would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then deal with the arrears after completion of the sale.
