I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Launceston is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Launceston are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Launceston 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 Launceston 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.

Given that I am about to part with 450k on a two bedroom apartment in Launceston I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor about myconveyancing in advance of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Launceston should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

My father-in-law has encouraged me to appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Launceston. Should I find my own solicitor?
