Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Dalton in Furness. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the invoice as you normally would because all ground rent and service charges should be allotted 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 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.
