I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Heaviley and Offerton. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the invoice as usual given that all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted on completion, 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
