I have just started marketing my basement flat in Holme On Spalding Moor. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

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.
