Can you help - my lawyer advises that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Clarborough conveyancing?

My wife and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Nottingham as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Clarborough. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Clarborough solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

My wife and I own a semi-detached Georgian house in Clarborough. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Chelsea Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Clarborough and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Clarborough is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Clarborough are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Clarborough 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 Clarborough 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.
