Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Pentyrch is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

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.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Pentyrch

It is improbable the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Pentyrch conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.

I want to let out my leasehold flat in Pentyrch. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Notwithstanding that your last Pentyrch conveyancing solicitor is not available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek permission via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior consent. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

In this arrangement the lessees benefit from control and although a managing agent is often employed if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
