I have just appointed agents to market my basement flat in Oakley. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

It best that you pay the invoice as usual given that all rents and service payments 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 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
