Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Endon is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Endon are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Endon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Endon may decide 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.
I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Endon. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
