My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Bedale. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Santander. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bedale and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Bedale differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bedale approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Bedale tend to purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bedale or who has acted in the same development.
