We are buying a new build flat in Chaddesden and my solicitor is telling me that she has to the bank to reveal incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to sign contracts and I would rather not delay matters. Is my lawyer right?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Chaddesden is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Chaddesden are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chaddesden you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Chaddesden 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.
