Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Holt who completed the legal work two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Chelsea Building Society.

I own a semi-detached Georgian property in Holt. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to review 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 Holt and other areas of 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 purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

I decided to have a survey done on a house in Holt prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks may not give a mortgage on such a premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Holt.

I'm refinancing my current property to a buy to let mortgage with Aldermore and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on a second property. The area we are interested in is Holt. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of banks and link together the two deals?

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Holt

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Holt conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
