I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Bourne End is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Bourne End are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bourne End 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 Bourne End may decide 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.

How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Bourne End based conveyancer who is on the bank conveyancing panel. Is it advisable to appoint a new law firm?

If you haven't yet instructed a conveyancer to start work and have just received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Bourne End that you're thinking of instructing.
