I have just started marketing my 2 bed flat in Newark on Trent. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just received a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as normal given that all ground rent and service invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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.
