Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Hirwaun is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Hirwaun are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hirwaun you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hirwaun 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.

Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Hirwaun?

Hirwaun conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally necessitates the buyer’s lawyer sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer these enquiries the majority will be willing to do so. They are at liberty to invoice a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is above £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has no option but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to complete the sale of your home.

Any solicitor listed on a mortgage company conveyancing panel is obliged to advise the mortgage company of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to disclose the price change to your bank then they would need to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the lender.
