My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Loxford

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Loxford conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Loxford. Am I liable to pay 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).
