I went with a Mapperley based firm for my conveyancing in Mapperley today. Looking through the Terms I seeI am liable for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to use a web based solicitor practice promising no completion no cost conveyancing in Mapperley?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to counteract those transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that such arrangements generally do not cover disbursements by way of example Mapperley conveyancing search fees.
At what point does exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Mapperley and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Mapperley you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we work with supply a national conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Mapperley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their preferred conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Mapperley
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Mapperley conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
Last June I purchased a leasehold flat in Mapperley. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
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. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part 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).

You have 66 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £12,400 and £14,200 as well as legals.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
