Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Hatfield is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Hatfield are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hatfield you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hatfield 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 property.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Hatfield
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Hatfield conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
What are your top tips when it comes to choosing a Hatfield conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Hatfield conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Hatfield conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be useful:

How many lease extensions has the firm completed in Hatfield in the last year? What are the charges for lease extension work?
I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Hatfield, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Hatfield with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2087
With only 66 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £12,400 and £14,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
I am an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a property in Hatfield which will be sold. The bungalow has never been registered at the Land Registry and I'm told that many estate agents will insist that it is done before they will proceed. What's the procedure for this?
In the situation that you have set out it seems prudent to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
