Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Shirebrook is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Shirebrook are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Shirebrook 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 Shirebrook 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.

If so you must make them aware of the replacement conveyancer and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added costs and frustration. That should be your first question of the new lawyers.
