Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Jesmond is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Jesmond you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Jesmond 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.

I have been advised by three or four local selling agents in Jesmond to choose a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your site ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
