Are the BSA intent on creating a search tool with a view to list law firms on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Llanybydder?
We have not been informed any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a register.
I purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Llanybydder. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Bank of Scotland. 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 exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Llanybydder and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
How does conveyancing in Llanybydder differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Llanybydder approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Llanybydder typically buy the real estate, 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 Llanybydder or who has acted in the same development.
