I’m about to sell my garden flat in Clarbeston Road. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
