My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Kirkby Stephen. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking to clarify?
You need to assess 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 Kirkby Stephen 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 question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Kirkby Stephen differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Kirkby Stephen 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 new home sellers in Kirkby Stephen typically buy the site, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Kirkby Stephen or who has acted in the same development.
