I’m about to sell my basement flat in Shildon. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as usual given that all rents and service invoices will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
