Last February I purchased a leasehold flat in Audlem. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, 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).

I bought a 2 bed flat in Audlem, conveyancing formalities finalised September 1998. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Audlem with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2091

With only 66 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £12,400 and £14,200 plus legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

My partner and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in Audlem. At the time of instructing our property lawyer, they assured us that they were on all mainstream bank panels. The financial adviser emailed just now to advise that they are not on the Nottingham approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we just choose a new conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with Nottingham selecting their own preferred conveyancing practitioner.

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is normal for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancer has to meet. Some banks now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your lawyer should contact Nottingham to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Nottingham's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Audlem lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the equation.
