Flying freeholds in Cookley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Cookley. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as usual because all ground rent and service invoices will be apportioned 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.
