I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Tongwynlais. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the invoice as usual as all ground rent and maintenance charges will be apportioned on completion, 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 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.
