My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Shepshed. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Bank of Ireland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Bank of Ireland to clarify?
You need to read 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 Shepshed 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 mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
Do I need to be concerned by brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Shepshed conveyancing firm?
As with many professional services, often input from connections can be very helpful. But there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all recommend lawyers to instruct. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that most mortgage providers operate an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
