I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Thornton is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Thornton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Thornton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Thornton 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 residence.

Hoping to buy a property located in Thornton and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Thornton. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Thornton area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Thornton. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

I have recently realised that I have Sixty One years remaining on my flat in Thornton. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application 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. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the freeholder. For most situations a specialist may be useful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Thornton.

I purchased a split level flat in Thornton, conveyancing formalities finalised 6 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Thornton with over 90 years remaining are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2079

With just 53 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £27,600 and £31,800 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
