I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Dursley. The vast majority the flats have already been disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Dursley?
If you getting a mortgage, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Dursley conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Dursley.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Dursley
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Dursley conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
Last November I purchased a leasehold flat in Dursley. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
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. A critical element 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).
