My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’.

Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Abingdon conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
Last April I purchased a leasehold property in Abingdon. 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 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).
