Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Chorley or throughout Lancashire is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion your bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Chorley should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.

    Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Chorley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Chorley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chorley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chorley 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 residence.

The financial adviser has recommended their property lawyer for the conveyancing in Chorley - Surely it’s easier to just use them?

This is not necessarily the case and you are entitled to use whichever lawyer of your choosing for your Chorley home move. A solicitor recommended by an estate agent may not always be the best property lawyer, they may recommend their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain updates.
