I am purchasing a new build house in Abersychan benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Abersychan. 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. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element 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).
