I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Seaham is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Seaham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Seaham 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 Seaham 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.

In the event that it has you must inform them of the new contact details and have the offer are issued to the new lawyers.

My partner is purchasing a studio flat in Seaham. He has received a fee estimate by the solicitor recommended by the selling agents and it came to £1385 . It was 7 years ago since I sold and purchased a home and the fee was £495. Have costs really increased to that extent?

What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Seaham searches, land registry fees, etc)
