The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as usual as all rents and service invoices 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 managing agents 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.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Ferryhill - A selection of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing

    Does this lease have more than 82 years unexpired? You should want to find out as much as possible regarding the company managing the block as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to daily matters like the tidiness of the common parts. Ask prospective neighbours if they are happy with them. Finally, investigate as to the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the appropriate party and precisely what you get for your money. The prefered form of lease arrangement is where the freehold reversion is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the lessees have control and although a managing agent is frequently employed where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves.
