I have just started marketing my basement flat in Market Weighton. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance charges will be apportioned on 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 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.
