Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bungay is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Bungay are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bungay you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bungay may determine 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 premises.

Should I be concerned about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Bungay conveyancing firm?

As is the case with lots of service providers, often input from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may suggest conveyancers to choose. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the lender aspect of your home move.
