I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. High Holborn is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in High Holborn are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside High Holborn you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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.
