In the event thatI was to buy a straightforward propertyin Bulls Cross for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Bulls Cross?
The only reduction in fees you would make on is the Bulls Cross conveyancing searches.

I have Fifty Six years remaining on my lease and need a lease extension for my flat in Bulls Cross. Conveyancing solicitors on the Nationwide Building Society panel can deal with such extensions correct?

We are planning on selling our home in Bulls Cross and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bulls Cross. Having lived in Bulls Cross for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 ailment)

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Bulls Cross. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and service invoices will be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
