Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Epsom?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Epsom. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Epsom is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Epsom are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Epsom you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Epsom 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.
My father has recommend that I appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Epsom. Should I use them?
There are no two ways about it the ideal way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to get guidance from friends or family who have actually previously instructed the solicitor that you are are thinking of instructing.
