I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Bagillt. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as normal because all rents and maintenance charges 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 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.
