Me and my partner are buying our first home. Our lawyer has contact usto see if we wish to order supplemental conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we have no idea as to what's necessary for conveyancing in Hightown

The type of Hightown conveyancing searches depends entirely on the premises, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your general approach to risk. What is important is that you adequately appreciate what information each search could provide. Then you can make a decision if you personally think you need that information. Should you be in doubt, ask your lawyer to offer guidance.

I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Hightown. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the TSB approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

You should contact the conveyancer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should get in touch with TSB who may be able to help.

How does conveyancing in Hightown differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Hightown contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Hightown tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Hightown or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hightown is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Hightown are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hightown 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 Hightown may decide 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.
