We had selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Ludgershall on the solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for dealing with the mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by ?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your may levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by but by your Ludgershall . Numerous firms on the panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Can I be sure that the Ludgershall conveyancing solicitor on the panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Ludgershall obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.

I am expecting a OIP from this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Ludgershall is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in Ludgershall are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ludgershall you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ludgershall may determine 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.
