Leasehold/property . query
Discussion
i sold a flat in September last year, and my solicitor requested a list of outstanding charges -maintenance fees, ground rent , insurance and asked for pro rata balances as it was in the middle of the contract year and i usually paid fees up front.
At time of contract completion, there was indeed a balance owing to me, and this cost was added to my buyers total cost as an adjustment to the payment for the flat.
8 months later and my purchasers have had an invoice from the lease holder and management agent stating there are adjusted additional costs for last year (circa £450) which is required to be paid, and the purchasers are expecting me to pay this.
Is it not the case that all my responsibilities for the property ends at the point of completion? The solicitor asked (multiple times) for accounts and fees outstanding from the lease holder and management agent. If there were calculations made after this date- am i liable?
