I was recommended by numerous selling agents in Ringwood to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your services over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Ringwood

It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Ringwood conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by head office.

I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Ringwood.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as usual as all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportionedon 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 unless 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
