    How does it work with regards to property tax and selling a house? Our property tax is due in January (we normally pay in full on one go) however our house is up for sale at the moment. Can you pay per month until you move out/house is sold?

    Does anyone have any experiences of what they did?

    The LPT liability will have to be paid in full before selling

    If its tax (or indeed any other property-related expense) in respect of last year (or earlier years) then it's your responsiblity. You pay it. You wear it.

    If it's tax or another expense in respect of this year, then you pay it in full but recover a proportionate share from the purchaser on the closing of the sale, by adjustment of the purchase price. This is standard. Your solicitor will have it covered.
