Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Garston is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Garston are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Garston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Garston may determine 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 premises.
Should I be concerned about third parties that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a local Garston conveyancing practice?
As with many professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may put forward conveyancers to appoint. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers operate an approved list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your home move.
