As someone not used to conveyancing in Anlaby what is your top tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Anlaby
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Anlaby and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, selling agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Anlaby should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a potential adversary may try and convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

My wife and I own a terraced Edwardian house in Anlaby. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Anlaby and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Anlaby?
Anlaby conveyancing on leasehold apartments often necessitates the buyer’s lawyer submitting enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer such questions the majority will be content to assist. They are at liberty to charge a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it is above £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have no option but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.
