I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Barnard Castle. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as you normally would because all rents and service 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 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

Please note that where the lease has no more than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are happy with the length of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably need a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this will be. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have been the owner of the residence for two years before you are eligible to extend the lease. In the main the cost for major works tend not to be built into the maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Barnard Castle ask tenants to contribute towards a reserve fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for larger repairs or maintenance. This question is helpful as a) areas can cause problems in the block as the common areas may start to deteriorate if maintenance are not paid for b) if the leaseholders have an issue with the running of the building you will wish to have all the details
