Flying freeholds in Devizes are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Devizes you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. 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 residence.
