A property disposed of on the 1st of Dec is the LPT due for 2022?

Going through a sale at the moment. I had to pay the CGT for 2022 but this will be refunded by the buyer as part of the closing. I guess that’s down to the solicitors to negotiate, but it seems to be the norm based on other posts here.
 
LPT must be up to date when the sale closes, or you quite likely delay the close. Solicitors should arrange a pro rata payment from the buyer to the vendor to cover any prepayment (.e.g. if you close on 28th Feb 2022 the vendor should refund you 10/12 of the 2022 LPT which you paid). In the example you give, the refund to you should be 1/12 of the 2021 LPT and 12/12 of the 2022 LPT. The same applies to Management fees, if any.
