I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Camberley is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Camberley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Camberley 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 Camberley 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 residence.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Camberley
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Camberley conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures set by head office.
