I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Chorley and Eccleston for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Chorley and Eccleston conveyancing specialists.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Chorley and Eccleston with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with Bank of Scotland. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Back In 2002, I bought a leasehold house in Chorley and Eccleston. Conveyancing and Nationwide Building Society mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Chorley and Eccleston who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?

You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
