I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Worksop. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the invoice as normal because all ground rent and service invoices should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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.
