I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Streatham. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as usual because all ground rent and maintenance charges will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies 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.
