Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Rendlesham. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as usual as all ground rent and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies 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.

You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
