I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Corbridge.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon but I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as usual because all rents and service charges will be allottedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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
