Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all rents and service invoices will be allottedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date.
