I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Breaston is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Breaston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Breaston 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 Breaston 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 father-in-law has urged me to instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Breaston. Do I follow his advice?
No doubt it’s preferable to choose a conveyancing solicitor is to get guidance from friends or family who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer that you are are thinking of instructing.

In the main the cost for major works are not built into the maintenance charges, albeit that some managing agents in Breaston ask leasehold owners to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against major repairs or maintenance. Please tell me if there are any major works anticipated that will likely increase the service charges? Who are the managing agents?
Being a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a service charge for my first floor flat in Breaston. Due to redundancy and personal issues I slipped behind with remittance. I negotiated a clearance plan but there is still a couple of left in arrears.
I now wish to dispose of the property and I am panicking this will hold me back if I have to discharge the amount due in advance. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?
Your solicitor will hopefully be able to negotiate with the management company, and agree with them whether or not they would accept settlement from completion monies. This is indicative of why it is sensible to select a lawyer in Breaston as they are likely to have an open line of communication with the management company.
