Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Seaford is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Seaford are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Seaford

It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Seaford conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures set by HQ.

I bought a studio flat in Seaford, conveyancing formalities finalised March 1998. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Seaford with an extended lease are worth £181,000. The ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2075
