Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Buckfastleigh is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Buckfastleigh are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Buckfastleigh 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 Buckfastleigh 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 residence.
Am I better off to instruct a Buckfastleigh conveyancing lawyer based in the area that I am buying? An old friend can perform the conveyancing but they are based a couple of hundredkilometers away.

If you know people who instructed your friend and in the main were happy that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Buckfastleigh conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
