As someone not used to the Woodstock conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me concerning the ownership transfer in Woodstock
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Woodstock and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. 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. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and sometimes a mortgage company. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Woodstock is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose interest is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Woodstock is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Woodstock are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Woodstock you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woodstock 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 residence.
