I have just started marketing my garden flat in Gorleston. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you discharge the invoice as you normally would given that all ground rent and service charges should be allotted 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
