I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Wantage is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wantage you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently.

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 property.

I acquired a studio flat in Wantage, conveyancing having been completed 4 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable properties in Wantage with a long lease are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2077
With 52 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £29,500 and £34,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.

Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
My husband and I are purchasing a garden flat in Wantage. At the time of instructing our lawyer, we were told they were on all mainstream bank panels. The financial adviser emailed just now to advise that they don't seem to be on the Nationwide approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we simply choose a new solicitor that is on their approved list or should we pay for dual representation, with Nationwide appointing their own preferred lawyer.
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is usual for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancing practitioner has to meet. Some building societies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should call Nationwide to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Nationwide's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Wantage lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the mix.
