Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. England Springs is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
