Last September I purchased a leasehold house in Frizington. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
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. 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 ensure 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).

Most Frizington leasehold apartments will have a service charge for the upkeep of the building levied by the landlord. Where you purchase the flat you will have to meet this amount, usually periodically throughout the year. This can differ from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large communal areas. There will also be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, ordinarily this is not a exorbitant sum, say about £50-£100 but you need to check it because occasionally it can be prohibitively expensive. You should be aware if it is no more than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. Check with your lender that they are happy with residual term of the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the property for 24 months in order to be legally able to carry out a lease extension. How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their maintenance charge payments?
