For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Heckmondwike. We have lived in Heckmondwike for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything.

My wife and I own a terraced Edwardian house in Heckmondwike. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

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 Heckmondwike 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 purchasers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.

It is improbable the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Heckmondwike conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
