I would be suprised if they can claim it from you given you didn't own the flat at the time.
Ummmmm
Your conveyancer should have ensured all service charge payments were settled before completing. Normally they make the seller hold a retention.
Yes but they can't predict the future? So if the Mco find a deficit end of 2018, and the seller sold in mid 2018 the new owner is going to pay. I think. Because nobody else is.
Maybe the terms of lease detail this.

Slightly muddling my thoughts in the first post.
A decent convayncer will hold a retainer. They then take the proportion up to completion from the seller and the balance after from the buyer. Returning any balance to the seller.
However if that is not in place a quick Google says that the buyer is legally liable. :(
