Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Aldeburgh?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Aldeburgh.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Aldeburgh is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Aldeburgh are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Aldeburgh you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aldeburgh 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 residence.
Do I need to be wary that third parties that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Aldeburgh conveyancing practice?
As with many service providers, often recommendations from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all recommend conveyancers to appoint. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders have an approved list of law firms you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.
