Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Ladywell. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just had a yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as usual given that all rents and service invoices should 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 managing agents 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.
