Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Stratford.Conveyancing has not commenced but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as usual as all ground rent and service invoices should be apportionedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date.

This will smooth the conveyancing process
