I purchased a terraced Georgian house in St Columb. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Barclays to clarify?

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 St Columb 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 mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. St Columb is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in St Columb

It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted St Columb conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by head office.
