It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Moston. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned 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 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
