Flying freeholds in Maida Hill are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Maida Hill you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Maida Hill may decide 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.

The property may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title documentation which may be with your parent’s mortgage company.
