I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Whitton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as you normally would given that all rents and service payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
