I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Lancashire is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Lancashire are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Lancashire you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lancashire 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 property.
Am I right to be wary by brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Lancashire conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all recommend solicitors to appoint. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to choose your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that some banks operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.
The conveyancing solicitors undertaking our conveyancing in Lancashire has forwarded papers to review that state the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all property in Lancashire are registered?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Lancashire are now registered with HMLR there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Lancashire that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Lancashire property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Lancashire conveyancing solicitors will be familiar with this type of conveyancing but where uncertainty reigns the usual advice presently appears to be for the vendor’s solicitor to address the registration formalities first and thereafter deal with the transfer to the buyer - this undoubtedly result in a protracted conveyancing.
