Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Lymington is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Lymington are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Lymington you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Lymington 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.
I was pointed in your direction by a number of property agents in Lymington to find a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your site over another?
We refuse to give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I am using a search engine for the phrase on line conveyancing in Lymington it shows results of numerous solicitorsin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the right conveyancer for the sale of my house?
The preferential way of finding a suitable conveyancer is through a personal testimonial, so ask colleagues and those you trust who have acquired a property in Lymington or the reputable estate agent or financial adviser.

Builders have put forward a conveyancer and I've received an estimate from them. They are almost three hundred pounds less expensive than my preferred Lymington lawyer. What's the catch?
Housebuilders often have panels of property lawyers who are quick and who know the builder's documentation and solicitor. As many developers offer an incentive to choose their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer won't recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they demand an exchange inside a month. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested lawyer is that they may prove unwilling to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Lymington conveyancing practitioner.
