As someone not used to conveyancing in Newark on Trent what is your top tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Newark on Trent
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Newark on Trent or throughout Nottinghamshire is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, estate agent and even potentially a bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Newark on Trent should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a potential adversary will try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
Me and my brother purchased a terraced Georgian house in Newark on Trent. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking The Royal Bank of Scotland to clarify?

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).

You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
