I have just started marketing my ground floor flat in Southborough. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just received a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as normal given that all ground rent and service payments should 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.
