I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Bucklesham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Bucklesham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bucklesham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bucklesham 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.

They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you.

    What are the costs for lease extension work?

I acquired a 2 bed flat in Bucklesham, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2007. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Bucklesham with over 90 years remaining are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2102

You have 76 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence.
