Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Miskin who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I hunt for a cheaper online property lawyer?

I am considering applying for a Aldermore mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Miskin with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore ?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Miskin is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Miskin 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 Miskin you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Miskin 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 property.
Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold house in Miskin. Conveyancing and Leeds Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Miskin who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Miskin conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
