From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in New Southgate.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon but I have just received a yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you clear the service charge as usual given that all ground rent and service charges will be apportionedas 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 subsequent invoice 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
