I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Tamworth is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Tamworth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tamworth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tamworth 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.
Do I stop my mortgage payments with once a completion date for my sale in Tamworth has been agreed?
