The fact that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

Flying freeholds in Freshford are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Freshford 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.

Taking into account that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Freshford I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer about myhouse move before giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Freshford.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a file number.

The primary upside of using a high street Freshford conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and they were content that should surpass using an unknown Freshford conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.

My partner and I have an offer in principle from Platform Home Loans Ltd who indicated that they will lend up to £300k. When do I need to appoint a lawyer for conveyancing? Freshford is where we plan to move to.

You can instruct a solicitor now so that the conveyancer can open the ledger so they can commence the ID checks etc. Once you wish them to commence work you will be asked for a payment on account normally approximately £225. That should generally be after you have the mortgage offer and survey results, however if you wish to expedite matters you can start the ball rolling quicker albeit risking some expense.
