I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Gwersyllt. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the service charge as normal because all rents and maintenance invoices will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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 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.
