Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Christchurch is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Christchurch are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.
