Flying freeholds in Custom House are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Custom House you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
