My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Saxmundham. Conveyancing and TSB mortgage went though with no issue.

First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Saxmundham conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver.
