I'm buying my first flat in East Cowes benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. East Cowes is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in East Cowes are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside East Cowes you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in East Cowes 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 residence.
