We decided to go with a high street firm for my conveyancing in Blandford Forum last week. After carefully reading the Terms it is apparent thatI am liable for charges even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to use a web based solicitor practice promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Blandford Forum?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to offset those cases that do not proceed. Dont forget that such schemes generally do not protect you from disbursements for example Blandford Forum conveyancing search fees.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Blandford Forum is more expensive?
Blandford Forum leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.
Me and my partner are buying a house in Blandford Forum. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we will need to deposit money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Blandford Forum what would it be?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Blandford Forum conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I have a terraced Edwardian property in Blandford Forum. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Blandford Forum and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
Should I appoint a Blandford Forum conveyancing practitioner based in the area that I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can carry out the conveyancing however his firm is located over three hundred kilometers away.
The benefit of a local Blandford Forum conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Blandford Forum conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.
