AssumingI was to purchase a freehold housein East Barming for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in East Barming?
The only saving you would make on is the disbursement for searches. A conveyancing practitioner is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your vendors lawyer, SDLT submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge but it will not be meaningful.

We expect to receive a AIP from RBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any East Barming solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint East Barming solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in East Barming. Plenty of people will acquire a house in East Barming, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their solicitors which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in East Barming. The standard information given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the seller to find out whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate response. The purchaser’s conveyancers may also carry out an environmental search. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be carried out.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. East Barming is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in East Barming are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in East Barming you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in East Barming may decide 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.
