Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Seaburn will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Seaburn.

I have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Seaburn. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Seaburn and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
How does conveyancing in Seaburn differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Seaburn contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Seaburn usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Seaburn or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Seaburn before retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not give a mortgage on such a property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Seaburn. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Seaburn to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
