I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Shoreham By Sea is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Shoreham By Sea are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Shoreham By Sea you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shoreham By Sea may decide 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.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Shoreham By Sea

It is highly unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Shoreham By Sea conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
