Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Drybrook is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Drybrook are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Drybrook 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. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Drybrook may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection.

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