Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as usual given that all rents and maintenance invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents 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.

Where there is one, the road will likely be maintained and appear better than publicly owned.
