Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Saltdean is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Saltdean are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Saltdean you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Saltdean may ascertain 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 premises.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Saltdean from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Saltdean can be avoided if you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ representatives. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable double-check by asking your solicitors. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to to exchange contracts if the lease term is below 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an early stage that you consider whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Obtaining a new share certificate is often a time consuming formality and frustrates many a Saltdean home move. Where a reissued share certificate is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Saltdean leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord approving such changes. Where you dont have the consents in place do not contact the landlord without contacting your lawyer first. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled.
