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.

Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
