I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Kidlington. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as normal because all ground rent and service payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Generally speaking the outlay for major works are not built into the maintenance charges, albeit that there some managing agents in Kidlington obliged leaseholders to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger repairs or maintenance. Please note that where the lease has no more than eighty years it will impact the salability of the flat. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have been the owner of the residence for 24 months in order to be eligible to carry out a lease extension. The answer will be useful as a) areas could cause problems for the block as the common areas may begin to deteriorate where maintenance are not paid for b) if the leasehold owners have an issue with the managing agents you will need to know about it
