Me and my brother have a terraced Edwardian house in West Brompton. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Clydesdale. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to 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 West Brompton 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 position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
Am I right to be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a local West Brompton conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many service providers, often recommendations from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may put forward solicitors to use. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to select your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that many banks have an approved list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
