We went with a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Dersingham recently. After carefully reading the small print it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to select a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Dersingham?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to offset those transactions that do not proceed. Dont forget that these deals rarely protect you from expenditure such your Dersingham conveyancing search expenses.

Given that you are now exchanged you should appoint a conveyancing practitioner soon as you now have a pending a fixed date to complete the property.

is it true that all Dersingham solicitor firms on the Santander conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

I have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Dersingham. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform TSB?
You must advise TSB prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. It may be that TSB will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel lawyer.
I acquired my house on 4 May and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Dersingham said it will be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Dersingham particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Dersingham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not typically top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Dersingham is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Dersingham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Dersingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dersingham 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 property.
