I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Wigston. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
