IfI were to buy a simple residential homein Aldermanbury for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Aldermanbury?
The sole saving you would achieve is the Aldermanbury conveyancing searches. The solicitor is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the sellers property lawyer, stamp duty submission, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it won't be significant.
My wife and I have a terraced Victorian house in Aldermanbury. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Aldermanbury and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Aldermanbury. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Aldermanbury is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Aldermanbury are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Aldermanbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aldermanbury may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 premises.
Am I best advised to instruct a Aldermanbury conveyancing lawyer based in the location that I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can deal with the legal formalities however his firm is located over three hundred miles away.
The benefit of a high street Aldermanbury conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Aldermanbury know how is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and the majority were impressed that must trump using an unfamiliar Aldermanbury conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Aldermanbury based.
My intention is to purchase a garden flat in Aldermanbury. Conveyancing lawyer has been waiting for, from the vendor, building insurance documents. This afternoon I was advised that the seller needs to send the insurance paperwork for the flat above also. Why would my conveyancing practitioner need to see the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly required? We have been stalled for the last two weeks…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Aldermanbury to discover Conveyancing in Aldermanbury in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the complete premises - which is clearly better. You should contact your lawyer but it would appear that your conveyancing practitioner is looking to establish that the whole building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reconstructed due to lack of insurance cover.
