I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Whickham. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the service charge as usual as all rents and service invoices will be allotted 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
