This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a garden flat in Griffithstown. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Griffithstown?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Griffithstown is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Griffithstown are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Griffithstown you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Griffithstown 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.

That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
