Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Braunton is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Braunton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Braunton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Braunton 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 premises.
Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Braunton conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Braunton conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you talk with two or three firms including non Braunton conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be of use:

If they are not ALEP accredited then what is the reason? How many lease extensions has the firm completed in Braunton in the last 12 months?

Myself and my husband have recently had an offer accepted on a flat and had meeting on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to selecting a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancers then we will be subject to an an extra charge of £200. This is because they will then have to select a conveyancer to act for them as well as the one we choose to act for ourselves and we are liable for their invoice. I have requested Nationwide to furnish me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You can enquire of Nationwide what their criteria for joining their panel is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Alternatively please make use of our search tool and we may be able to locate a conveyancer in Braunton on the panel for Nationwide.
