I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Dolgellau is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

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

A small minority of properties in Dolgellau do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

    Please inform me if there are any major works in the planning that will increase the service costs? Please note that where the lease has no more than eighty years it will affect the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with the length of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely need a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the property for a couple of years before you are entitled to extend the lease.
