I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Rainham. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as normal as all ground rent and maintenance charges will be allotted on completion, 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.
