The buyer’s solicitors should also carry out an environmental search. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Timsbury is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Timsbury are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Timsbury you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Timsbury 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 residence.
I am using a search engine for the term on line conveyancing in Timsbury it brings up numerous conveyancerslocally. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable conveyancer for me?

I pay a maintenance contribution for my ground floor flat in Timsbury. Due to redundancy and personal issues I slipped behind with remittance. The freeholders agreed a payment plan but there remains about £2000 outstanding as of today.
I now wish to dispose of the property and I am panicking this could threaten to derail the sale if I have to settle the amount due in advance. I'd like to sell up and then repay the arrears from the proceeds - is this viable?
Do clarify with the property lawyer carrying out your Timsbury conveyancing but one option could be to agree for the outstanding amount to be transferred to the buyers. The final price due would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then pay the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
