I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Milford Haven is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Milford Haven are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Milford Haven you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Milford Haven 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 residence.

I have today had an offer accepted on an apartment in Milford Haven and the broker that we are using suggested his solicitor. He quoted nine hundred pounds excluding VAT and disbursements. Does this sound steep?

You should not rely on 1 estimate. One should seek like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Milford Haven. Then select one that you are comfortable with and crucially, is on the approved panel of the lender that you have applied for a mortgage from.
