I have just started marketing my ground floor flat in Mosborough. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as normal because all ground rent and service payments will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

You should be aware if it is fewer than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the flat. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth discovering what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have owned the premises for 24 months before you are legally able to exercise a lease extension.
