I hired a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Rufford last week. Upon checking the Terms I notewe are liable for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and appoint an on-line solicitor practice promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Rufford?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to neutralise those cases that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that such promotions tend not to protect you from expenses such as Rufford conveyancing search expenses.

A few days later, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

I bought my apartment on 6 April and my personal details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Rufford said it should be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Rufford particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Rufford is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the property therefore registration formalities is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Rufford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rufford come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Rufford tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Rufford or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently bought a leasehold house in Rufford. 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 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. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure 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).
