Without wishing to tempt fate I will purchase a house in Waltham. My brother advised that my conveyancer must order a Chancel Search. Is this right?
The case of Aston resulted in many a conveyancing solicitor in Waltham to conduct chancel searches. Indemnity policies can be arranged if chancel liability is likely to be enforced. Your conveyancing lawyer should provide more details. Church of England properties in Waltham where chancel liability may apply include parish data base.
My wife and I purchased a renovated Victorian property in Waltham. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Waltham and other areas of 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 lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
