We chose a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Tisbury recently. After carefully reading the terms of engagement I notewe are responsible for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or select an internet conveyancing company promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Tisbury?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to neutralise those conveyances that fail to complete. Dont forget that such promotions generally do not cover outlay such as Tisbury conveyancing search expenses.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Tisbury is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Last May I purchased a leasehold flat in Tisbury. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee 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).
