I purchased a terraced Georgian house in Covent Garden. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database 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 need to read 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 Covent Garden and other locations in 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 check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

I was pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Covent Garden to select a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than another?

We don’t give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

My brother has urged me to use his conveyancing solicitors in Covent Garden. Should I use them?

There are no two ways about it it’s preferable to select a conveyancing solicitor is to have referrals from friends or family who have previously instructed the conveyancer that you are considering.
