I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Inkberrow. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the service charge as you normally would as all rents and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed 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 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
