I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Pantymwyn. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as usual because all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportioned 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 management companies 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
