Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Crewe. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the invoice as you normally would because all ground rent and service charges should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
