I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Great Baddow. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the maintenance contribution as normal given that all ground rent and service payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date.

This will smooth the conveyancing process.
