My previous conveyancer has given a fee calculation of £1150 for freehold conveyancing in Atherstone. I’m hoping to downsize from a purpose built property for £150,000. Are these estimated fees excessive? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Atherstone?

I own a semi-detached Georgian house in Atherstone. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Bank of Scotland. 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 exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess 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 Atherstone and other locations in 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 buyers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
How does conveyancing in Atherstone differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Atherstone contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Atherstone typically purchase the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 Atherstone or who has acted in the same development.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Atherstone may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
