Me and my brother have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Evesham. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Aldermore. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Aldermore to clarify?
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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Evesham 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 lenders. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Evesham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Evesham approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Evesham tend to acquire 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 conveyancers 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 Evesham or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Evesham is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Evesham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Evesham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Evesham may ascertain 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.

Me and my husband are disposing of a Evesham house left to us six years ago in 2011. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing knowledge and, now retired, wish to carry out the conveyancing. The purchaser's property lawyer has informed me that their bank will not allow us to do our own conveyancing as they require the funds to be passed via a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage requirements to conveyancers from all CML members specify that If the vendor does not have legal representation the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the lender needs to be informed so that a decision can be reached if they are prepared to proceed.
