I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Coney Hall. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as usual given that all ground rent and maintenance charges will be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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 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.
