Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as usual because 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 purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date.

This will smooth the conveyancing process.
