Flying freeholds in Urmston are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Urmston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Urmston 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 a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
