We decided to go with a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Fortis Green last week. Going through the terms of engagement I noteI am liable for fees even if our purchase aborts. Should I ditch them and instruct an on-line lawyer promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Fortis Green?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to neutralise the cases that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these deals tend not to cover outlay such as Fortis Green conveyancing search charges.
Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Fortis Green conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel?
Fortis Green conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Coventry BS directly.
My grandmother passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Fortis Green. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Aldermore, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Where you plan to re-mortgage then Aldermore will require that you use a conveyancer on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Aldermore mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Fortis Green is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Fortis Green 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 Fortis Green 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 Fortis Green may determine 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.
