Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Cudworth is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Cudworth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cudworth 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 Cudworth 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 premises.

strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Cudworth based

• Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Cudworth can be avoided where you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ conveyancers.
Many freeholders or Management Companies in Cudworth charge for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should discover the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Cudworth. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Cudworth state that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord approving such changes. If you fail to have the consents in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor before hand. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Arranging a new share certificate can be a time consuming formality and slows down many a Cudworth conveyancing transaction. Where a duplicate share is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this sooner rather than later.
