Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was retained a required element of selling a house. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned before the property is marketed.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Archway is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Archway are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Archway you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Archway may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Is it best to use a Archway conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can handle the legal work but his firm is located approximately 350kilometers away.

The benefit of a high street Archway conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were impressed that should surpass using an unfamiliar Archway conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.

Last April I purchased a leasehold flat in Archway. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

Having spent months of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Archway. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
