I am buying my first flat in Norwood Green with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it will adversely affect my loan with Bank of Ireland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Norwood Green is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Norwood Green are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Norwood Green you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Norwood Green may ascertain 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.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Norwood Green
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Norwood Green conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
