I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Irby. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as normal because all rents and service payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date.
