I pay a maintenance contribution for my property in Holt. Due to redundancy and personal issues I slipped behind with remittance. I negotiated a payment schedule but there remains in the region of £1750 currently outstanding.
I am under pressure to dispose of the property and I am worried this can hold me back if I have to discharge the amount due first. I'd like to sell up and then pay them back with the proceeds - is this possible?
You should speak with the solicitor dealing with your Holt conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the outstanding amount to be attributed to the purchasers. The final price payable would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then discharge the arrears once they are the owners.
