We are purchasing a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Surrey who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

A friend recommended that where I am purchasing in Surrey I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Surrey conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Surrey around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Surrey Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Surrey.
I have a renovated Georgian property in Surrey. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Aldermore. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Surrey and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Surrey before instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to issue a loan on this type of home.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Surrey. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Surrey to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
