We are buying a property in Esher. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to deposit funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Esher. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?

Given that you have now exchanged you must retain a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you are facing a tight deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. An auction property will have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold premises the conveyancing pack may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You should give this to the lawyer working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by HSBC. Is it usual for HSBC to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Esher is approved on their conveyancing panel? HSBC have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Esher concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

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 simple, no chain conveyancing. Esher is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Esher are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Esher you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Esher 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.

Is it true that a Esher conveyancing company got sued by clients for failing to conduct comprehensive conveyancing searches?

We are not aware of such a Esher conveyancing claim but it has been reported that, clients buying a home elsewhere in England successfully sued their lawyer due to development plans to build a wind farm not being identified in conveyancing searches.

Where you are purchasing in Esher It is essential that your solicitor conduct all Esher conveyancing searches necessary making sure that you have relevant and current information ahead of acquiring a property.
