I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Wootton. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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 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.
