As a tenant I am liable for a service charge for my first floor flat in Penshaw. Due to losing my job and other issues I fell into arrears with payments. The managing agents agreed a payment plan but there remains in the region of £3000 currently outstanding.
I want to sell and I am nervous that this can jeopardize the sale if I have to settle the arrears first. I'd like to sell up and subsequently pay them back with the completion monies - is this viable?
You should clarify with the conveyancing practitioner undertaking your Penshaw conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the outstanding amount to be transferred to the buyers. The sale price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They would then discharge the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
