As part of the process, a seller fills in a form referred to as a SPIF. answers proves to be misleading, then you may have a claim against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted.

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

Virgin Money would not normally require a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money list.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. South Oxhey conveyancing practitioners are chosen. How long does it take for Clydesdale to forward the offer to the conveyancer?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Clydesdale conducted the survey? Have you informed Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. South Oxhey is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in South Oxhey are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in South Oxhey 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 residence.
