I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Newton Aycliffe. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the invoice as usual because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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.
I acquired a 1st floor flat in Newton Aycliffe, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension?
