I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Framlingham. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a yearly service charge demand – what should I do?

It best that you discharge the service charge as usual as all ground rent and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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 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.
