I am purchasing a house for cash in Maryland. I have lived for the last 20 years in Maryland. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Maryland conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . Do consider; if you are going to sell the house one day, it will likely be be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where premises with day to day issues can still throw up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Maryland will provide you some sensible advice in this regard.

I have a terraced Edwardian property in Maryland. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Maryland and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Maryland before instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to issue a mortgage on such a premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements for example to Halifax. If you contact us we can investigate further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Maryland. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
