As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important advice you can impart about purchase conveyancing in Braunton?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Braunton or throughout Devon is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion the lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Braunton is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Braunton is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Braunton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Braunton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Braunton may ascertain 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 property.
