Flying Freehold house Selling

digiman97

Hello,

I own a flying freehold where my property overhangs the neighbour to the left and right of my property.

I have/had a buyer who I accepted their offer for the sale of my property , the other day their Solicitor sent a letter saying we are near completion but a few weeks later they seem to have persuaded the buyer not to proceed with the sale as they warned her that there is a possibility one of the neighbours could potentially knock their wall down affecting the property , I have arraigned the indemnity policy to be put in place,I am know getting frustrated as I can't seem to sell my property .

Regards David

What is the legal arrangement with the FF?

!!!!!! can cause obvious legal issues where repairs/maintenance is needed, or, as you say, if one party removes a structural wall affecting the other party's property.

However, if there are suitable legal arrangements, via a Deed, or Covenants for example, specifying each party's rights and obligations, then there should be no problem.

Hello,

I think there are covenants in place for the property, I can't remember exactly,my neighbour a few doors along bought the same sort of property with no hassle ,as did I when I first bought it 14 years ago.

If the Solicitors keep putting people off buying my property because of what a neighbour might or might not do to their own property what can I do next?

Regards. John

Well, the obvious first thing is to know if there are covenants in place.

Then check that they are adequate.

Then consider putting new/better covenants in place if they are missing/inadequate.
