Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Crediton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Crediton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Crediton you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Crediton 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 property.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Crediton. I I would like to check if they are listed on the bank's conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
