I simply don't know who is right.
Your solicitor must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your bank.

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and service invoices should be allotted on completion, 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 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
