I have just appointed agents to market my basement flat in Fulwell. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and maintenance charges should be allotted 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 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
