Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Upper Walthamstow is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Upper Walthamstow are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Upper Walthamstow you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Upper Walthamstow 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 property.
I bought a house in Upper Walthamstow last 3/6/2025 and to date it is still not registered with HMLR. It is part of a new estate and my conveyancer told me that it may take twelve months to register. I have spoken with HMLR directly and they have informed me the original application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Should I be concerned?
