Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as normal as all ground rent and maintenance invoices should be allotted 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 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.

Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be.
