Flying freeholds in Northwood are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Northwood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Northwood may ascertain 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 property.
