Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. St Giles is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

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.

Should I be concerned that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street St Giles conveyancing company?

But there are numerous people with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all recommend conveyancers to select. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in St Giles. Conveyancing and Chelsea Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing practitioner in St Giles who acted for me is not around. What should I do?

First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion.
