I plan on acquiring a leasehold flat in Woodbury. My property lawyer has never been on on the lender conveyancing list. Can I still retain my Woodbury conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank list of approved lawyers?
You have a couple of options open to you here
- Complete the purchase with your existing Woodbury conveyancing practitioner but your bank will need to appoint a property lawyer from their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional fees and potential frustration.
- Choose a new conveyancer to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to attempt to join the bank panel

Me and my brother own a terraced Victorian property in Woodbury. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Woodbury and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

There are numerous houses in Woodbury on private lanes. My wife and I are purchasing one such house. What are the pros and cons of buying a property on a private road?
Woodbury conveyancing lawyers will be well versed in dealing homeson unadopted roads. The conveyancing practitioner should review the Land Registry data to identify any rights or liabilities. In many cases there is a residents association that proprietors pay into for the upkeep of the road. Where there is one, the road should be maintained and look nicer than publicly owned.
