I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Windsor. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just received a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted 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 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.
I own a 2 bed flat in Windsor, conveyancing was carried out March 2001. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease?
