We chose a high street firm for my conveyancing in Eastbourne today. Upon checking the Terms I notewe are liable for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct a web based solicitor practice advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Eastbourne?

I'm the only recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Eastbourne. The Eastbourne property was put into my name in February. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. Most mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
We were going to get a DIP from Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money recommend any Eastbourne solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Eastbourne solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Coventry BS are being difficult. The Eastbourne solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Eastbourne is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Eastbourne are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Eastbourne 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 Eastbourne 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.
