I am purchasing my first flat in Tiptree with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Tiptree is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Tiptree are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tiptree you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Tiptree 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 residence.
