Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in St Luke's. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just had a yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as normal as all ground rent and service payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser 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.
