I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to leave my rented flat in Rowley Regis by 28/5/2024. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Can I complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Rowley Regis is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Rowley Regis are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rowley Regis you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rowley Regis may decide 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 residence.
