My wife and I own a terraced Edwardian house in Banbury. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Banbury and other locations in 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 situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
As co-executor for the will of my grandmother I am disposing of a residence in Neath but I am based in Banbury. My lawyer (approximately 300 miles awayneeds me to execute a stat dec ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Banbury who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Banbury
My fiance and I have recently had an offer agreed on a property and had meeting on Wednesday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to appointing a that if they are not on their approved list of then we will incur an additional fee of £250+. This is because they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their fees. I have asked the Post Office to provide me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. What would be the best way of going about this?
You can enquire of the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for the Post Office previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with the Post Office. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we may be able to locate a in Banbury on the approved list for the Post Office.
