I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Uttoxeter. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and service invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
