Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Ripponden is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Ripponden are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ripponden you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ripponden 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 FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Ripponden
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Ripponden conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
I have recently realised that I have 68 years remaining on my flat in Ripponden. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to find the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent may be useful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on investigating the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Ripponden.
