As a leasehold owner I am liable for a service charge for my property in Boxmoor. Due to redundancy and other issues I slipped into arrears with payments. I negotiated a clearance schedule but there remains in the region of £3000 outstanding at the current time.
I am under pressure to dispose of the property and I am panicking this will hold me back if I have to settle the amount due now. Do I have to settle before - is this possible?
It would be wise to clarify with the conveyancing practitioner conducting your Boxmoor conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the debt to be passed to the buyers. The contractual price they pay would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then discharge the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
