Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. New Inn is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in New Inn are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside New Inn 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 New Inn 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.
