Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Liverpool is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Liverpool are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Liverpool you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly.

Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Liverpool 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.
