Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Halewood. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a quarterly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
