I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Waltham Cross?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Waltham Cross is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Waltham Cross you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Waltham Cross 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.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Waltham Cross
It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Waltham Cross conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
