I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Hedge End is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hedge End you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Hedge End 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 residence.
