When will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Poundbury and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Poundbury you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a national conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Poundbury)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your selling agent however this should only take place after the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected.

As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Poundbury or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Poundbury.
I am expecting a OIP from UBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Poundbury solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Poundbury solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Poundbury. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Poundbury solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

Last March I purchased a leasehold flat in Poundbury. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, 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).
