    Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. West Dean is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in West Dean are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside West Dean 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 West Dean 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 premises.

Is it best to appoint a West Dean conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am buying? I have an old university friend who can handle the legal formalities but they are based a couple of hundredmiles drive away.

However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and the majority were impressed that must outweigh using an unknown West Dean conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
