I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Kinver. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but 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 you normally would because all rents and service invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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.
