I am purchasing a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Chigwell who is on the solicitor. Can you recommend a local firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for in certain locations such as Chigwell. We dont recommend any particular firm.
I purchased a renovated Edwardian house in Chigwell. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
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 Chigwell 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 the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
My step-father has urged me to appoint his conveyancers in Chigwell. Should I use them?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Chigwell conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to find a conveyancing practitioner is to have referrals from friends or family who have experience in using the conveyancer that you are contemplating using.
