Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Brandon is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Brandon are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Brandon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brandon 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.
My step-father has suggested that I appoint his conveyancers in Brandon. Should I find my own property lawyer?
No doubt the ideal way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to have recommendations from friends or relatives who have used the conveyancer you're considering.
