Flying freehold

hazyjo

I'd be more worried about it being cold than noisy. That's a common issue.

The flat is completely freehold. I would say it was built in the 1980s.

Why do you think it's freehold?

It's very unlikely to be a freehold flat. If it is, it will be unmortgageable.

It's much more likely to be a leasehold flat. 

Unless it's not England.

If it's Scotland then the "flying" bit isn't a problem.

Its im UK, i didnt know how to describe it then i read someone else calling a place a flying freehold that sounded just like the one im trying to describe so i thought thats what it is. Im probably wrong but i have no idea what its actually called.

"UK" isn't specific enough.

Really not sure there even is a problem or that anyone other than the OP has mentioned it's flying.

Definitely lots of confusion over that and the whole freehold thing.

OP does not seem to care.

It's the potential noise that worries him.

Hi everyone.
Im thinking of buying a flying freehold. Its about 60 to 70% flying. There is an access underneath that allows cars to get to a carpark. I know about the issues with the potential morgage but i was wondering more about the noise.
As cars could be using the access at any point during the day or night i was wondering if anyones had any issues with noise.  Ive seen alot mentioned about garage issues and maintenance issues due to not having your own ground to gain access to any repairs that need doing but does anyone know if they have good sound insulation? Im sure they probably do as they are hanging and would need it due to being colder. Thanks

I was asking about whether they are noisy due to having a passage underneath that cars travel through.

I rented one of these it was called a coach house, I had access up a staircase and then the lounge/bedroom etc. Was all over the drive to get to shared parking.
It was a spacious one bed, but it was freezing! 
I can not reiterate that enough. No heat coming from any neighbours my heating bill was high in colder months. Not helped as it was spacious and open plan.
Also everyone stored their bins in the underside and that created noise..
The cars and ppl getting in and out will depend on your neighbours and how considerate they are.
Hope that helps
