Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Y Felinheli is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Y Felinheli are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Y Felinheli you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Y Felinheli 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 property.
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint their preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Y Felinheli
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Y Felinheli conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Y Felinheli. Conveyancing and Santander mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Y Felinheli who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to incur the fees of a Y Felinheli conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
