We decided to go with a local firm for my conveyancing in Grahame Park last week. After carefully reading the Terms it is apparent thatI am responsible for fees even if the sale aborts. Should I go with them or choose a web based solicitor practice offering no move no charge conveyancing in Grahame Park?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to offset the cases that abort. Please beware that such schemes rarely protect you from disbursements e.g. Grahame Park conveyancing search fees.

Last May I purchased a leasehold house in Grahame Park. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
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 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).
I am the registered owner of a a ground floor purpose built flat in Grahame Park. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount due for a lease extension?
if there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to determine the premium.

The Tribunals calculation of the amount to be paid into court in respect of the value of the freehold interest is £11,997 in respect of Flat 1 and £15,781 in respect of Flat 1A for a total of £27,778. This case was in relation to 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 71.5 years.
