Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Hinton St George is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Hinton St George are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hinton St George you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hinton St George may ascertain 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.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Hinton St George
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Hinton St George conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
We are hoping to buy a four bedroom apartmentin Hinton St George with a loan from a bank. We would like to retain our conveyancer in Hinton St George but our bank inform us now that he's not approved on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our bank panel firms or keep our Hinton St George solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company mortgage issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Hinton St George : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
