I have just started marketing my basement flat in Coney Hall. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as usual because all ground rent and maintenance charges will 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 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
