I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Hyde. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the invoice as normal because all ground rent and service payments will be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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.
