Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Great Missenden is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

My uncle has encouraged me to instruct his conveyancers in Great Missenden. Should I choose my own property lawyer?
There are no two ways about it the best way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to seek referrals from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer that you are considering.
My partner and I have AIP from Yorkshire Building Society who indicated we could borrow up to £300k. When do we need to instruct a practitioner for conveyancing? Great Missenden is where we plan to move to.
You can appoint a lawyer now and ask them to open a file for you. This will facilitate: 1) the selling agent to issue a Sales Memorandum to all parties 2) the seller’s conveyancing practitioner to send out the draft contract. However, do not instruct your conveyancer to order searches until you receive your valuation report from Yorkshire Building Society and you are willing to move forward.
