Management Fees.

Hi, can any1 help?

i used to live in a leasehold. used to get the management charges in advance. From the point i sold, i paid for what was pertinet to me, to which i told the managment company. The remainder was to be paid by the new owner going in. The management company are now chasing me for the monies that is owed from my departure date upto the end of the charging period which is 24/03/10, surely its down to the new owner to be paying this?

Any ideas?

  • Maybe the buyer's solicitor hasn't yet served the notice on them telling them his clients have bought the property so they still think you own it. Get your solicitor to get him to do this.

    As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.

    Do you mean you paid for part of the month in which you left?
    What a cheap skate. However there is very little they can do to make you pay up.

    What is written in your long lease? Were your payment periods monthly, quarterly or annual? Have you paid up to the end of a charging period? What has your conveyancing solicitor said, have they written to the management company to confirm you are no longer the leaseholder?
