I pay a maintenance fee for my first floor flat in Hurst Green. Due to losing my job and personal issues I fell behind with payments. I negotiated a payment plan but there remains three thousand pounds outstanding as of today.

The purchase price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then discharge the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
