The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Mitcheldean is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Mitcheldean are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Mitcheldean you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mitcheldean 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.

As with lots of service providers, often input from connections can be most helpful. Yet there are lots of parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may put forward solicitors to use. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that most lenders specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
