The Kingsthorpe conveyancing firm handling our Kingsthorpe conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he must check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach correct?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Kingsthorpe what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Kingsthorpe
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Kingsthorpe and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, property agent and sometimes a mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Kingsthorpe should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may try and sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is against your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Kingsthorpe. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Barnsley Building Society to clarify?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Kingsthorpe and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Kingsthorpe is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Kingsthorpe are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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.
