I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Egremont. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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.
