Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Bispham is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Bispham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bispham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bispham may ascertain 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.

Me and my partner are soon to complete buying a house in Bispham but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated reparation from the seller of £2k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but the bank will not permit this. Why were they involved?
The lawyer listed on the bank conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to the lender of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to disclose the price change to your mortgage company then they would have no choice but to disinstructing themselves from acting for you and the mortgage company.
