Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Nunthorpe is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Nunthorpe are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Nunthorpe 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 Nunthorpe 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.
My aunt purchased her house in Nunthorpe in 2008. She has got married, divorced and in recent months got married again. She now intends to dispose of the Nunthorpe property. I believe she will simply be requested to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the solicitor but she is worried it will delay the sale of the house. Should she instruct a property lawyer to update the Land Registry documents for the house?
You are not required to bring up to date the title for the property as long as you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the name change has come about.
Any buyer’s conveyancing practitioner should examine the registered entries and request evidence by way of proof of the name change e.g. marriage certificates.
