I was referred a solicitor who has quoted £1700 for leasehold conveyancing in Mudeford. I am looking to sell a Georgian detached home for £200,000. Is this over the top? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Mudeford?

I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of delay in Mudeford house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Mudeford.
How does conveyancing in Mudeford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Mudeford approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Mudeford tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Mudeford or who has acted in the same development.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Mudeford. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as usual as all ground rent and service charges will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

My mother and father cant seem to find their Mudeford property on the HMLR website. They have a vague memory back in the 60’s when they acquired the bungalow there were complications regarding the post code not being identified on some systems.
Almost all premises in Mudeford should be revealed. Have you endevoured to search to simply the postcode. Normally it will reveal all the houses and flats inside that postcode. Where registered it will be there with a title number. Where they bought sixty years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The property might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title papers which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
