I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Cheddar is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

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

Taking into account that I will soon spend 450k on a two bedroom apartment in Cheddar I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning thetransaction prior to appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

This is something that we encourage - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer who will be doing your conveyancing in Cheddar.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a file reference.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two apartments in Cheddar which have approximately 50 years left on the leases. should I be concerned?

There are plenty of short leases in Cheddar. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.

I bought a garden flat in Cheddar, conveyancing was carried out 6 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Cheddar with an extended lease are worth £221,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2096

With 70 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
