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.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Whalley Range. I've land on a web site which appears to be the perfect offering If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via phone that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
