I am purchasing my first flat in New Eltham with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. New Eltham is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in New Eltham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in New Eltham may determine 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.
