I have been told that property searches are a common reason for stalling in Walthamstow conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

Me and my brother have a semi-detached Victorian property in Walthamstow. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

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 Walthamstow 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 purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.

We have an offer in principle from Godiva Mortgages Ltd who said we could borrow up to £300k. At what point do I need to instruct a solicitor for conveyancing? Walthamstow is where we plan to move to.

You can appoint a property lawyer now so that the conveyancer can open the file so they can do their AML checks etc. If and when you wish them to start work you will be asked for a payment on account normally approximately £225. That should generally be once you have the loan offer from the lender and survey report, but should you wish to speed the process you can get going sooner even though you may be risking some expense.
