I'm in the throws of looking at houses in Carnforth and I am about to put in an offer. Is it wise to have a property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a mortgage with Nottingham.

After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent.

The estate agent will wish to be informed of your solicitor's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the lender’s approved list).

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to get a mortgage offer. Virgin Money will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Carnforth.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Carnforth is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Carnforth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Carnforth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Carnforth may ascertain 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.
