Renting? Who pays Development Maintenance Charges?

QTPie

Title says it all.

At the moment we live in a development with an annual maintenance charge of about £440/£500 (communal garden, garage insurance, private street lighting etc). If we sell and rent back, do we get the responsibility of that maintenance charge or is it the buyer who pays?

Quite simple - the owner.

Thank you socrates

QT - You might want to relax a bit - dont get stressed out about this rental situation too much.

You have had a very tough week I think you should have some 'you and OH' time. Forget about houses and renting and LL's etc.

I have been through what you have been through.....

Thanks Socrates, you are right - although it provides a bit of a "diversion" and we need to be in a good and knowledgeable position to get the rental tied up quickly.

Husband is still at work and is going out tonight (on my insistance) - to get some exercise, which will be good for him (I would exercise too - great stress reliver - but my body isn't up to it yet)

I am so sorry that you have been through it too - it is so cruel

It is one of the cruellest things that can happen primarily for a woman but when I came home from the hospital alone (OH was still there under observation) it was the one time in life I felt alone - I have never felt that alone since.

Try to do things together and work even harder on your relationship than you ever have.

Anyway as I said before time is a great healer.

My best wishes to both of you ....

I hear everything that you are saying: we are talking it through lots and lots. Husband says that loosing it has made him even more aware of how much he wanted it. There is definitely someone missing in this household.

We are like a couple of "peas in a pod" normally, we are even closer at the moment. We are working through it together and are both even more aware of how lucky we are to have each other.

Thank you

Either the tenant will pay it or it'll be included in the rent - in which case, the tenant will pay it.

It must be the one who benefits that pays. surely?

I own 7 on the one estate and pay the charges for the lot.
