I have no idea who is right.
The solicitor has to comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Banwell. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as you normally would as all rents and service payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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.
