Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. South Norwood is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in South Norwood you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in South Norwood 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.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’.

We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the sellers 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)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted South Norwood conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
I only have Sixty One years unexpired on my lease in South Norwood. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to find the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent should be useful to try and locate and to produce an expert document to be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing South Norwood.
