When it comes to conveyancing in Bishopston seeking recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Bishopston. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bishopston property lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

TSB have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Bishopston has been accepted, what are the next steps?

Your property agent will want to be informed of your lawyer's details (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Telephone TSB or the financial adviser and finalise any appropriate documentation. TSB will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. TSB will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Bishopston.

    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Bishopston is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

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.
