Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Blackley is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Blackley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Blackley 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 Blackley 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 property.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Blackley with the intention of saving time on the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Blackley can be avoided where you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ solicitors.
  • You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but you should double-check via your conveyancers. A buyer’s conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is below 75 years. It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s permission? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Blackley leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. Where you dont have the approvals to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor first. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Organising a re-issued share certificate can be a lengthy process and slows down many a Blackley conveyancing transaction. Where a reissued share is required, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity.
