I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Silvertown is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Silvertown are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Silvertown 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 Silvertown 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.

The 1954 Act provides security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a new lease and remain in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
