As someone unfamiliar with the Ashford conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Ashford
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Ashford or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, property agent and sometimes a lender. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Ashford is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
A relative advised me that if I am buying in Ashford I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Ashford Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Ashford Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Ashford.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Ashford is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Ashford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ashford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ashford 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.
