As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important advice you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Warwickshire?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Warwickshire or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, selling agent and even potentially a bank. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Warwickshire should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. You your first instinct should be to trust your solicitor ahead of the other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

My wife and I have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Warwickshire. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Bank of Ireland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Warwickshire and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Warwickshire is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Warwickshire are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Warwickshire you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Warwickshire 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 premises.

Conveyancing lawyers have are soon to be instructed. Will they explain the issues?
The majority of houses in Warwickshire are freehold rather than leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are purchasing in Warwickshire so you should seriously consider looking for a Warwickshire conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions such as obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to conduct alterations.
