I have just started marketing my garden flat in Rainham. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as normal given that all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

After months of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Rainham. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
