Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Birkenshaw is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Birkenshaw are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Birkenshaw you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Birkenshaw may decide 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.

My folks cant seem to find their Birkenshaw property on the HM Land Registry online search facility. They have a vague recollection back in the 60’s when they purchased the bungalow there were complications with the address not being identified on some systems.
The vast majority of residences in Birkenshaw should show up. Have you endevoured to search to just the postcode. Normally it should identify all the residences within that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The property may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title deeds which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
