As a FTB what is the most important advice you can impart regarding purchase conveyancing in Hyde?

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Hyde and elsewhere in Greater Manchester is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the home moving process. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion the bank. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Hyde should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.

There is a definite creep in the "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Hyde. Am I liable to pay 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. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element 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).

The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2075
