I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Stapleton. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the invoice as normal as all rents and service invoices 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.
