A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

I have paid off my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Droitwich Spa lawyer on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Droitwich Spa is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Droitwich Spa are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Droitwich Spa you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Droitwich Spa 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 property.

Am I best advised to go with a Droitwich Spa conveyancing lawyer based in the location that I am hoping to buy? An old friend can deal with the legal work but her office is approximately 350kilometers away.

The primary upside of using a local Droitwich Spa conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Droitwich Spa know how is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were impressed that must surpass using an unknown Droitwich Spa conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
