Last May I purchased a leasehold house in Cross Hands. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

In a situation 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. 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).

I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in Cross Hands, conveyancing having been completed in 1996. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Cross Hands with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2094

You have 69 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

I am searching for Cross Hands competitive conveyancing fees. Can I be sure that all the Cross Hands practices that are listed on your directory are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel?

To date we have not been informed by either a bank or a member of the public that the data about a specific Cross Hands firm being on the lender conveyancing panel is incorrect.
