I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Priorslee. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the maintenance contribution as normal because all rents and maintenance payments should 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 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

In this situation the leaseholders enjoy control and even though a managing agent is often retained where the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent retained by the leaseholders. What is the length of the lease?

In the situation you refer to it seems sensible to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
