Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. England Springs is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in England Springs are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside England Springs you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 England Springs 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 premises.

Should I be wary about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a High Street England Springs conveyancing practice?

As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be most helpful. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may suggest conveyancers to retain. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of lenders operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.

Last October I purchased a leasehold house in England Springs. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
