I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Church Village is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Church Village are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Church Village 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 Church Village 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.

This is not necessarily the case and you are at liberty to instruct whichever conveyancer you prefer for your Church Village home move. A conveyancing practitioner suggested by a 3rd party adviser may not always be the best solicitor, they may recommend their preferred conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
