I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Llanbradach.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportionedon completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser 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
