Me and my brother have a renovated Victorian house in Sturminster Newton. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. 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. Is it worth asking Birmingham Midshires to clarify?
You should review 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Sturminster Newton and other areas of 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 situation with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
I have been advised by a few selling agents in Sturminster Newton to choose a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your services over a competitor’s?
We don’t give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
