I have just appointed agents to market my basement flat in Perranporth. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned 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 next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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.
