I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Lynmouth. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you discharge the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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.
