When it comes to conveyancing in Poole getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Poole agreed to, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Poole. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Poole conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Poole.

I have recently realised that I have Fifty years left on my lease in Poole. I am keen to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What are my options?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have done all that could be expected to locate the lessor. In some cases a specialist may be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare a report to be used as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on proving the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Poole.
