I have just started marketing my basement flat in Colwall. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as you normally would because all rents and maintenance payments should be apportioned on completion, 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.
