I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Felixstowe is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Felixstowe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Felixstowe you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Felixstowe may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
