Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Foots Cray. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as normal because all rents and service charges should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer 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.
