Property law is different from other law.

If you screw it up then its a big f&** up. If the solicitor screws up they have insurance.

Find yourself another solicitor and this time question them on flying freeholds to see if they have a clue before engaging them.

Totally this. I can't imagine why, for the cost, you want to try do this.

Anyone done their own conveyancing. I'm looking for some tips.

Wife and I are buying a commercial property in joint ownership. We had a solicitor but he was dumbfounded by the Flying Freehold and a covenant. So we sacked him.

We've got the local, registry searches going through now. Got a copy of the covenant.

Now the vendor's solicitor is harassing us! Me thinks the problem did not lie with our solicitor but with the vendor's ******.

I've got the forms from land registry and ordered the SDLT form (which you can't download for some reason). Got the contract which seems dead boring standard.

So what next?
