I have todayfound out that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Cumberland for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Cumberland I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cumberland suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Cumberland. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
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 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).
