I'm buying my first flat in Sandy with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it could affect my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Is this normal?.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Sandy is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Sandy are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sandy you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sandy 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 premises.

My partner and I plan to acquire our 1st property in Sandy. Conveyancing practitioner already selected. The broker advised that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed 16 yrs ago.
You would be well advised to commission a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is over ten years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. The report should highlight any obvious issues and suggest additional investigation where relevant. If there are any signs of problems seek a comprehensive structural survey.
