After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Datchet and Langley accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Datchet and Langley. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Datchet and Langley conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Clydesdale approved list. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.
Will my lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Datchet and Langley.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Datchet and Langley.

Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Datchet and Langley. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the owner to discover if the premises has ever been flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s lawyers will also carry out an environmental report. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be carried out.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Datchet and Langley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Datchet and Langley 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 Datchet and Langley 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 residence.
