Me and my brother have a renovated Victorian property in Pentonville. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Britannia to clarify?

You should 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Pentonville and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

    Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Pentonville

We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Pentonville conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.

I today found out that one of the partners of the conveyancing practice acting on the purchase conveyancing in Pentonville is an uncle of the owners that we are buying from. Is this permitted?

On the basis that no conflict arises this is permitted. If you are needing mortgage finance then the lender may have a say as many lenders have specific requirements on this. For example for Skipton Building Society as of 25/3/2025, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Yes, provided the stipulations in 1.15 are strictly complied with.
