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 quick, chain free conveyancing. Scarborough is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Scarborough are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Scarborough you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Scarborough may determine 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.
We are a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been recommend to solicitors by the local agent to execute conveyancing in Scarborough. I am am starting to be frustrated with the level of service. Can you help me find new lawyers?

In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your conveyancer needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid added fees and delays. So that should be your first question of the new lawyers.

I am purchasing a garden flat in Scarborough. Conveyancing solicitor has been awaiting, from the vendor, building insurance documents.

Is it strictly required? We have been stalled for the last fortnight…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Scarborough to find Conveyancing in Scarborough in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the entire building - which is definitely better. You should clarify with your property lawyer but it would seem that your conveyancer is attempting to verify that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reinstated due to lack of insurance cover.
