I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Plaistow. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as usual as all ground rent and maintenance charges will be apportioned 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 subsequent invoice 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.
