My partner and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Leeds Building Society as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our home in Sharnbrook.

Leeds Building Society don't usually appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society list.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Sharnbrook is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Sharnbrook are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sharnbrook you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Sharnbrook 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 residence.
