I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Easthampstead. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as usual because all rents and service invoices will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
