AssumingI was to buy a simple residential housein Shaftesbury for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Shaftesbury?
The only saving you would make on is the Shaftesbury conveyancing searches. Your solicitor still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your vendors conveyancer, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it won't be meaningful.
At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Shaftesbury and do I need to be at the lawyers office?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Shaftesbury you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with supply a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Shaftesbury)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Me and my partner are buying a flat in Shaftesbury. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we have to send our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Shaftesbury what would it be?
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Shaftesbury conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
My husband and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Nationwide as we want to conduct improvements to our property in Shaftesbury. Are we obliged to select a nearby Shaftesbury solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Nationwide don't usually instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nationwide list.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Shaftesbury I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Shaftesbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
