I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Studley is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Studley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Studley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Studley 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 residence.

I am hoping to exchange soon on a leasehold property in Studley. Conveyancing lawyers inform me that they report fully on Monday. What should I be looking out for?

The report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Studley should include some of the following:

Whether the landlord has obligations to ensure rights of quiet enjoyment over your property and do you know what it means in practice? Whether the lease restricts you from subletting the property, or having a home office for business Ground rent - what is due and what the invoice dates are, and also know whether this will change in the future You should have a good understanding of the building insurance requirements

I bought a studio flat in Studley, conveyancing having been completed April 2004. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Studley with a long lease are worth £181,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2076

With only 51 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £30,400 and £35,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
