As a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a maintenance fee for my property in Keighley. Due to losing my job and personal issues I fell into arrears with payments. The freeholders agreed a settlement schedule but there remains a couple of outstanding at the current time.
I want to sell and I am panicking this may hold me back if I have to discharge the arrears now. I'd like to sell up and then pay them back with the proceeds - is this practicable?
It would be wise to check with the lawyer dealing with your Keighley conveyancing but it may be possible to agree for the outstanding amount to be passed to the buyers. The purchase price they pay would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then discharge the arrears following completion of the purchase.
