Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Hadleigh costs more?
In short, leasehold conveyancing in Hadleigh and elsewhere usually warrants more work compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes lease investigation, communicating with the landlord about serving appropriate notices, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, securing the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first entered into.

My wife and I own a renovated Georgian property in Hadleigh. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
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).

You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

As with many professional services, often suggestions from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may put forward conveyancers to use. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to select your own lawyer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers have an approved list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.
