We instructed a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Bowthorpe recently. Going through the terms of engagement I seewe are liable for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and select an on-line conveyancing company advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Bowthorpe?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract those cases that fail to complete. You should be mindful that such arrangements generally do not cover disbursements such as Bowthorpe conveyancing search costs.

My partner and I are downsizing from our house in Bowthorpe and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bowthorpe. We have lived in Bowthorpe for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Victorian house in Bowthorpe. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Britannia. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bowthorpe and other areas of 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 buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Bowthorpe is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Bowthorpe 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 Bowthorpe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bowthorpe 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 residence.
