Maintenance Charges
Our contract says that we do not need to pay maintenance charges until we have our TAPU. We received our TAPU this February, but unfortunately we paid maintenance last year as we were asked for it, and were "green" then.
We pointed this out to our builder, who says " you used the property didn't you. You must pay."
Call me old fashioned but I was under the impression that the property was ours after we handed our money over.
If the contract says we don't have to pay until we get our TAPU how do you think this will hold up if we refuse to pay this year's maintenance charges?
He has threatened us with solicitors, and a monthly penalty charge until we pay this years charges.
