I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bassaleg is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Bassaleg are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bassaleg you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bassaleg 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.

The primary upside of using a high street Bassaleg conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign documents, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Bassaleg know how is a bonus. 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 trump using an unfamiliar Bassaleg conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in Bassaleg both have about forty five years left on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Bassaleg is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the marketability of the property. For most buyers and mortgage companies, leases with less than eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Bassaleg conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
