Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Frimley who acted for me two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from HSBC Bank. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Frimley is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Frimley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Frimley may ascertain 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.

You are free to select your own conveyancer. Don't forget that many banks have an approved list of solicitors you must use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.
