Should conveyancers ask for money on account for my conveyancing in Rufford?
If you are buying a property in Rufford your solicitor will ask you put them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is payable against the purchase price then this should be required immediately prior to contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a couple of days prior to the completion date.
The deeds to my property are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Rufford 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be retained by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and obtain current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Rufford in advance of instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold home.

As a tenant I am liable for a service charge for my appartment in Rufford. As a result of personal circumstances I slipped into arrears with payments. The freeholders agreed a settlement plan but there remains in the region of £2000 outstanding as of today.
I want to dispose of the property and I am worried this could threaten to derail the sale if I have to discharge the amount due first. Do I have to settle before - is this viable?
It would be wise to check with the conveyancing practitioner conducting your Rufford conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the debt to be transferred to the purchasers. The contractual price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then pay the outstanding monies after completion of the purchase.
