My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Mundesley. I need to find out whether they are on the Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should e-mail the lawyer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you should get in touch with Bank of Scotland who may be able to assist.
Me and my brother purchased a renovated Edwardian property in Mundesley. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Virgin Money. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Mundesley 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 buyers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

Who are the managing agents? The prefered form of lease arrangement is where the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this scenario the lessees benefit from control and even though a managing agent is usually employed where it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability?
