Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stockwood 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.

This will enable: 1) the estate agent to issue a Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s conveyancer to send out the draft paperwork. However, do not instruct your property lawyer to start searches until you receive your valuation report via Leeds Building Society and you are happy to move forward.
