I'm purchasing my first flat in Harrow on the Hill with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with Lloyds TSB Bank. Is this normal?.

Should I be wary that third parties that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Harrow on the Hill conveyancing firm?
As with many service providers, often input from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable.

Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to appoint your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that many mortgage providers have an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.
Last July I purchased a leasehold property in Harrow on the Hill. 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. 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).
