My partner’s sister is a property lawyer. I expect that I will be offered friends and family rates for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Debenham?

Is it the case that all Debenham solicitor practices on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

How can we tell if a Debenham conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Debenham getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

Our sealed bid on a semi in Debenham has been agreed to, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The vendors have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked.

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Debenham conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Nottingham approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Debenham.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Debenham is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Debenham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Debenham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Debenham 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.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Debenham. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Debenham - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
