Last July I purchased a leasehold flat in Wargrave. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
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. 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 best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold reversion is owned by the leaseholders. In this situation the lessees benefit from control and although a managing agent is frequently retained where it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. If a Wargrave lease has fewer than 80 years it will affect the value of the apartment. Check with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for two years before you are entitled to exercise a lease extension. It is important to be aware if a new roof is being installed or some other major work is coming up to be shared by the tenants and will dramatically impact the level of the service fees or require a specific invoice.
