My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Temple Fortune and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Temple Fortune. We have lived in Temple Fortune for six years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Temple Fortune?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Temple Fortune. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Temple Fortune is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Temple Fortune are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Temple Fortune you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Temple Fortune 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 premises.
We are four weeks into a residential purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the local agent to execute conveyancing in Temple Fortune. I am am extremely disappointed with the level of service. Can you help me find new conveyancers?

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
