Yesterday I discovered 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, chain free conveyancing. Sunningdale is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Sunningdale are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Sunningdale 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 Sunningdale may ascertain 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.

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the disposal of our £125,000 flat in Sunningdale in just under a week.

Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Sunningdale?

For the majority of leasehold sales in Sunningdale conveyancing will involve, queries regarding the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :

    Addressing pre-exchange enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Sunningdale Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Sunningdale leasehold property is £350. For Sunningdale conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to provide the information.

Sunningdale Leasehold Conveyancing - Sample of Questions you should ask before Purchasing

    It would be wise to discover as much as you can about the company managing the building as they will either make life much simpler or a lot more difficult. As the owner of a leasehold property you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical issues such as the tidiness of the common parts. Enquire of prospective neighbours if they are happy with their service. Finally, be sure you understand the dates that the service fees are due to the managing agents and precisely what it includes. The prefered form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this situation the tenants have control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often retained if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Are there any major works in the near future that will likely increase the service costs?

There are plenty of houses in Sunningdale on private lanes. I am purchasing one such house. Are there any advantages to buying a property on a private road?

Sunningdale conveyancing firms are familiar with conveyancing propertieson private. The conveyancing practitioner will review the title to find any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a residents association that proprietors pay into for the upkeep of the road. If one exists, the road should be maintained and appear better than publicly owned.
