Our lawyer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are buying in Yarmouth. The other side have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer has advised that he must check that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution.

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).
