I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Weybridge is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Weybridge are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Weybridge you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Weybridge 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 am attracted to a two maisonettes in Weybridge which have about forty five years left on the leases. should I be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Weybridge. The lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame.

It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process.

I am an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a house in Weybridge which will be marketed. The property is unregistered at HMLR and I'm advised that some EAs will insist that it is completed before they will move forward. What's the mechanism for this?
In the circumstances that you have set out it seems advisable to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
