I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Goring is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Goring are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Goring you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Goring 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.

The following questions might be of use:

Is there a share of the freehold? Where a Goring lease has less than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the apartment. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the premises for 24 months before you are entitled to extend the lease. Its a good idea to find out as much as possible regarding the company managing the building as they will either make your life much simpler or uncomfortable. Being a leasehold owner you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical matters such as the cleanliness of the common parts. Don't be afraid to ask other people if they are happy with them. On a final note, be sure you understand the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the relevant party and precisely what it includes.
