I have just started marketing my basement flat in Scunthorpe. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as normal given that all ground rent and service payments will 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 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.
