After shopping around on the internet I have found a Prenton conveyancer having made sure that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Prenton postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Prenton.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Prenton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Prenton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Prenton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Prenton 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 premises.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Prenton
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Prenton conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
