Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Todmorden is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Todmorden are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Todmorden you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Todmorden 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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Todmorden. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as you normally would because all ground rent and service charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
