Why would I instruct a Hove conveyancing firm given that online conveyancers are cheap by comparison?
By all means make sure that you shop around for conveyancing costs in Hove and you should seek a competitive fee calculation but don’t be focused with looking for the lowest priced Hove conveyancer. Appointing the right conveyancer can be the distinction between a seamless and a frustrating house move. It is important that you ensure that you have expert guidance from a specialist lawyer. An e-mail can never replace a telephone conversation and are no substitute for a face to face meeting. The firms that we work with will allocate you a qualified and trusted conveyancing solicitor that will tackle your conveyancing from beginning to end, giving the sort of hand holding that you rarely receive from an online conveyancer. Our lawyers will contact you regularly to update you on headway and keep you informed. Should you need to contact the firm you will know who you need to speak to and they will be sure you are in the know.
My partner and I intend to remortgage our maisonette in Hove with Kent Reliance. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this form unique to the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Kent Reliance conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Kent Reliance. This is solely used to protect Kent Reliance if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Kent Reliance had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Hove conveyancing lawyers are chosen. How long does it take for UBS to issue the offer to the solicitor?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have UBS done the survey? Have you informed UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Hove is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Hove are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hove you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hove 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 property.
