I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Jesmond is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Jesmond are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Jesmond 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 Jesmond 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 residence.
My cousin has recommend that I use his conveyancers in Jesmond. Do I follow his recommendation?

If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Jesmond conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you speak with several firms including non Jesmond conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better.
