Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Prenton who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Barclays . I am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I hunt for an alternative conveyancer?

It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Prenton. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Prenton relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Prenton is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Prenton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Prenton 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 Prenton 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 property.
