I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in South Brent.Conveyancing has not commenced however I have just had a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as usual because all rents and maintenance invoices will be apportionedon completion, so you will be reimbursed 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
