I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Old Windsor. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as you normally would as all rents and maintenance invoices will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date.
