I have recentlybecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in New Romney for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of New Romney conveyancing specialists.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. New Romney is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in New Romney are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside New Romney you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in New Romney may decide 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.

Finally our conveyancing in New Romney is set to complete next Friday, but the owners I am buying off wishes to move out 24 hours later at midday. Do I accept this?

Where you require a mortgage then your property lawyer will require that you have vacant possession on Friday - the mortgage company will insist on it.
