dear, U r justified in charging service tax i.e.,letting of immovable property attracts service tax.i.e.,your obligation.
as u paid service tax to consultant it is your input,
u can rightly setoff the tax liability with your service tax credit and pay the balance deficit amount and if there is excess credit, u can carry forward the same.
