Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Hampton Wick is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Hampton Wick are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hampton Wick 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 Hampton Wick 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 premises.
I have been pointed in your direction by two or three local selling agents in Hampton Wick to choose a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services over a competitor’s?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Hampton Wick
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Hampton Wick conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures set by head office.
