I'm purchasing a new build house in Hornsey with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Birmingham Midshires. Is this normal?.

Flying freeholds in Hornsey are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hornsey 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.

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.
