I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Selsdon. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would as all rents and maintenance charges will be apportioned 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 managing agents 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
