I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Littleport. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you pay the invoice as normal as all rents and maintenance invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer 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.
