Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Harton is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Harton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Harton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Harton may determine 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.

Is it best to appoint a Harton conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can perform the legal work however they are based approximately 350kilometers drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Harton conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were happy that should trump using an unknown Harton conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.

There are only Seventy years remaining on my lease in Harton. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have done all that could be expected to locate the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent should be useful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document to be used as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Harton.
