I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (five years old) in Jesmond. 95% of the properties have already been occupied. Do I need carry out the local searches as part of conveyancing in Jesmond?
You are opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in refusing to carrying out Jesmond conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying mortgage free there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would strongly advise in no uncertain terms that your conveyancer conducts them. Where speed and price are primary issues you should discuss with your lawyer about the options such as indemnity insurance available to you

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Jesmond is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Jesmond are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Jesmond you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Jesmond 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 premises.
