We decided to go with a high street firm for my conveyancing in Hoxton yesterday. Upon checking the Terms I noteI am on the hook for costs even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to select a web based solicitor practice promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Hoxton?

You should be mindful that such promotions generally do not protect you from outlay for instance Hoxton conveyancing search charges.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hoxton is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Hoxton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hoxton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hoxton 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.
