Last December I purchased a leasehold property in Desford. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation 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).

Generally speaking the cost for major works tend not to be built into the service charges, albeit that there some managing agents in Desford obliged leaseholders to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against major works.

The lawyer that is on the lender conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise the bank of any variations to the sale figure. If you did not allow your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to your lender then they would have no choice but to discontinue acting for you and the lender.
