I am buying a new build house in Sydenham benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Sydenham is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Sydenham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sydenham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sydenham 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 residence.
