I'm purchasing a new build house in Irchester benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Irchester. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?

In a situation 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. 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).

My fiance and I are planning to purchase a 2 bedroom first floor flatin Irchester with a home loan from a bank. We have selected a lawyer in Irchester yet our lender advise he's not approved on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our mortgage company panel firms or stay with our Irchester conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Irchester lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The lender mortgage issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Irchester : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
