We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers based in Dartford on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate amount for dealing with the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Dartford lawyer. Numerous firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Dartford is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Dartford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Dartford 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 Dartford 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 property.
