Yesterday I discovered 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, no chain conveyancing. Oadby is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Oadby are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Oadby you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Oadby 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.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Oadby
It is improbable the owners are behind this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your preferred Oadby conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
I am looking at a two flats in Oadby which have about forty five years unexpired on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
