Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know precisely where to look for all the suitable paperwork so you can purchase or sell your property without a hitch.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Piccadilly is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Piccadilly are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Piccadilly you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Piccadilly 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 property.

Do I need to be wary by brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Piccadilly conveyancing practice?

As with lots of professional services, often input from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all suggest solicitors to instruct. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that some mortgage providers operate an approved list of lawyers you must use for the lender related work in your transaction.

I am 3 weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Piccadilly. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

A conveyancer would have to be really bad to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage been issued? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the replacement conveyancer and ensure the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the lenders panel to avoid supplemental costs and delays. So that should be your starting point. Our find a solicitor tool should help you find a lender approved lawyer for your conveyancing in Piccadilly

We are midway through buying a house in Piccadilly. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Does this adversely affect the marketability of the property?

Piccadilly conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the saleability too much.

At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a significant effect on the value, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The length of lease and ground rent will be specified in the lease to be supplied to your conveyancer.
