Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. St Columb is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in St Columb are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside St Columb you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in St Columb 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 residence.

Given that I am about to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a property in St Columb I would like to talk to a conveyancer regarding theconveyancing prior to appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

This is something that we encourage - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor who will be conducting your property ownership legalities in St Columb.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a file reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in St Columb should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we use their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in St Columb

It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred St Columb conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
