My wife and I own a semi-detached Edwardian property in Grange Over Sands. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking The Royal Bank of Scotland to clarify?
You should assess 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 Grange Over Sands and other areas of 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 enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Grange Over Sands with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it could jeopardize my loan with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
