Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. North Woolwich is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in North Woolwich are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in North Woolwich you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in North Woolwich 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.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a North Woolwich conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a North Woolwich conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work.

The following questions could be useful:
