I’m about to sell my basement apartment in Timsbury. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as usual because all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed 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 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.

You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.
