Even where you use a solicitor outside Woodthorpe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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.

You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
