I’m about to sell my garden apartment in Wanborough. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as usual as all rents and maintenance charges should 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 subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
