I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by UBS. Is it usual for UBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in St Agnes is approved on their conveyancing panel? UBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. St Agnes is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in St Agnes are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside St Agnes you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 St Agnes 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.
