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 simple, no chain conveyancing. Rusholme is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Rusholme are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rusholme you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rusholme 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.
Given that I am about to part with £400,000 on a two bedroom apartment in Rusholme I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer regarding thetransaction in advance of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in Rusholme both have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Rusholme. The lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
