My previous solicitor has sent a quote for £995 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Bournemouth. I am looking to sell a newly refurbished property for £275,000. This sounds overpriced. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Bournemouth?

Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could affect a commercial site in Bournemouth?

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Bournemouth it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Bournemouth with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it would jeopardize my loan with National Westminster Bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Bournemouth I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bournemouth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Last March I purchased a leasehold flat in Bournemouth. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before 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. However, 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 be sure 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).
