I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Wilberfoss is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wilberfoss are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Wilberfoss. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted 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 subsequent invoice 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
