Try as I might with my solicitor and the EA, I still cannot get to the bottom of this seemingly ridiculous issue with our house sale. The house is of a style common in towns like Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds - a terrace built in 1904 with an entry way between our house and the neighbouring house. So, there must be a fair few people who have had experience selling or buying a house like this.
The house overhangs the entry by 18 inches - neighbours house the same. Therefore, it constitutes a flying freehold. Our buyer's lawyer has asked for an indemnity for the 'flying freehold'.
What planet are they on? The house and all those in a road that is five eighths of a mile have stood for over one hundred years.
If you have experienced the same or you live in a house like mine and sold it with no trouble, please advise. My solicitor is absolute rubbish and has advised I let the buyer's lawyer draw up the indemnity and I pay!
Any help at all will be very much appreciated.

Has anyone selling a house with an entry way been asked for an indemnity for it?
