As with lots of service providers, often input from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable.

I pay a maintenance contribution for my flat in Brent Cross. Due to losing my job and other issues I slipped into arrears with remittance. The management company agreed a settlement schedule but there remains two outstanding at the current time.

I want to dispose of the property and I am nervous that this may threaten to derail the sale if I have to pay off the arrears in advance. I'd like to sell up and then pay them back with the completion monies - is this achievable?

Do check with the conveyancing practitioner conducting your Brent Cross conveyancing but one option might be to arrange for the outstanding amount to be passed to the purchasers. The contractual price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They would then deal with the arrears once they are the owners.
