Thanks for all the responses - very helpful.

My gut feeling is that now we are selling the property they have noticed an opportunity to put the cost onto the person buying the house.

I'm worried it can affect the sale but hopefully it can be put to bed using some of the advice above

Thanks very much everyone

I agree. I think they know you are selling and see this as an opportunity to "put things right" (in their opinion).

But I wouldnt want the paperwork amended for future buyers either - as it could put them off.

Cheers David.

Is there a specific form that a managing agent should have showing we signed up to a service charge?

Or is it just in the title documents?

You've told us there isn't anything in the title documents.

Apart from that, anyone can contract with someone for the provision of window cleaning / gardening / putting out bins services - if you've agreed to pay those charges then you need to pay them. That's just normal contract law, nothing really to do with property ownership. But it sounds like you haven't agreed to pay them.

Sorry I was unclear then.

Yes, there is nothing in the title documents.

I just wasn't sure if there was some kind of proforma that the developers would have to show a serve / management charge was agreed.

I asked the developers to provide me with something from their side to prove otherwise and they have said "We don't keep copies of any legal paperwork in relation to deeds etc at the office"

i think i'm covered from my side.

agreed, i won't be agreeing to change that

If the seller never paid a charge they have answered in good faith. Your solicitor might well have asked for a copy of what charges they have paid
