Coming to this thread because my lawyer is not very helpful since property handover.
I was aware of some expenses I need to deal with regards to Apportionment Account such as management fees, rates and government rent.
What I was not aware of was a "Management Fee deposit". The management company issued a letter to the previous owner that "Deposit is not refundable but transferrable upon the completion date even without official receipt". Now the previous owner is requesting that I cover this fee -- I've a few friends in the same estate that never had to pay this fee when buying a property.
Can anyone advice me if I should dispute this?
