I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Theale. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as you normally would as all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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.
