My wife and I own a renovated Georgian property in Wanborough. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
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 Wanborough and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
How does conveyancing in Wanborough differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wanborough approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Wanborough tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wanborough or who has acted in the same development.
