I've recently bought a leasehold property in Maryport. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before 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. 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).

Who manages the building?

The solicitors carrying out our conveyancing in Maryport has sent papers to review that indicate that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all property in Maryport are registered?

Whilst most properties in Maryport are now registered with the Land Registry there are still a few that are unregistered. Any property in Maryport that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Maryport property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Maryport conveyancing practitioners should be capable of dealing with this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty reigns the standard advice presently seems to be for the seller to deal with the registration formalities first and subsequently deal with the disposal - this this chain of events will result in a significant delay.
