I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Crewe. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance payments 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 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.
