As a first time buyer what is the most important number one tip you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Twyford?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Twyford and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, estate agent and on occasion your lender. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Twyford should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be blamed for the process taking so long. You must always trust your conveyancer ahead of all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Twyford is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Twyford are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Twyford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Twyford 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.
