I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Wedmore. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as usual because all rents and maintenance payments will 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 managing agents 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.
