Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Brynmawr is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

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

The solicitors handling our conveyancing in Brynmawr has forwarded papers to review that indicate that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not currently recorded at HMLR?

It is a rare occurrence indeed to find premises in Brynmawr to be unregistered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Many Brynmawr conveyancing practitioners will be familiar with this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty reigns the conventional recommendation presently is for the current owners to register it first and subsequently deal with the disposal - this will predictably result in a drawn-out home move.
