I was recommended to a solicitor who has quoted £995 for leasehold conveyancing in Longford. I’m looking to sell a Edwardian property for £125,000. This appears too much. Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Longford?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Longford 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 Longford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently.

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.
