Having sold my house in Walsingham last August but the buyer keeps e-mailing every few hours to moan that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

How does conveyancing in Walsingham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Walsingham come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Walsingham tend to acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Walsingham or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Walsingham is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

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

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Walsingham

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Walsingham conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
