Last January I purchased a leasehold flat in Mexborough. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
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. 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 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).

We own a leasehold flat in Mexborough. Conveyancing was finished in 2009. I have been told that I should not allow the the remaining lease term to get too short. Why is that a problem?
Mexborough domestic long term leases are for a set term - usually just under one hundred years when they started. However a significant flats in Mexborough were built or converted 20 or more years ago and so these leases now have less than eighty years remaining. That may seem like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies tend to need leases to have at least seventy five years left to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing 75 years. To increase your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore advantages to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is less than eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
