Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this.

I am buying a new build house in Halesworth benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Halesworth is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Halesworth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Halesworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Halesworth 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 property.
