I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Staines. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the invoice as normal because all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
