Property lawyer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer.

Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian house in Southbourne. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Godiva Mortgages Ltd to clarify?

You should read 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 Southbourne 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 enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

How does conveyancing in Southbourne differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Southbourne contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Southbourne usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Southbourne or who has acted in the same development.

We are one month into a residential purchase having been referred to a firm by the high street agent to perform conveyancing in Southbourne. I am am very dissatisfied with the quality of service. Can you help me find new solicitors?

If so you will need to inform them of the replacement conveyancer and ensure the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the lenders approved list to avoid escalating fees and complications. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors.
