I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Appleton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Appleton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Appleton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Appleton 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.
Should I appoint a Appleton conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can handle the conveyancing however her office is over three hundred miles away.
The benefit of a local Appleton conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were impressed that must surpass using an unknown Appleton conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.
