Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. St Agnes is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

Even where you use a solicitor outside St Agnes you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in St Agnes
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred St Agnes conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
