Finally the sale completed on my house in Ferndown last August but my buyer keeps texting every few hours to say her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
Post completion of your disposal your conveyancer should deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the buyers lawyers.

There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Ferndown but how do I know who's good?
Do not opt for the cheapest Ferndown conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
We had instructed conveyancers based in Ferndown on the RBS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate charge for dealing with the RBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by RBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by RBS but by your Ferndown property lawyer. Numerous firms on the RBS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Leeds Building Society are being difficult. The Ferndown solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Leeds Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am intent on selling our house in Ferndown and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Ferndown conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ferndown. We have lived in Ferndown for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Ferndown I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Ferndown suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Ferndown being more expensive?
Buying a brand new premises is completely different from the normal house buying conveyancing in Ferndown. For a start sellers normally insist contracts to exchange within a tight deadline, so there is a lot of pressure on your solicitor to ensure all is in order.
