I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Aston. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just received a half-yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as normal as all ground rent and maintenance invoices will 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 subsequent invoice date. Most management companies 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.
