I have been advised by a number of estate agents in Ringwood to find a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your site ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any commission for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’.

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Ringwood conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Ringwood.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed however I have recently received a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as usual because all rents and service charges should be apportionedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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
