I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Niton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Niton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Niton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Niton 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 property.
Do I need to be wary that third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm rather than a local Niton conveyancing company?
As is the case with many service providers, often input from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all recommend solicitors to retain. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that some lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence.
