Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Gallows Corner is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Gallows Corner are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Gallows Corner you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gallows Corner 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 premises.
I was pointed in your direction by three or four local selling agents in Gallows Corner to find a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site over alternative conveyancing organisations?
