Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Hindhead. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser 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.
