My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Motspur Park. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Britannia. 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 under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Britannia to clarify?

You need to read 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Motspur Park and other areas of 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 buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Motspur Park benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My step-father has recommend that I use his conveyancers in Motspur Park. Do I follow his recommendation?

There are no two ways about it the ideal way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to have feedback from friends or relatives who have actually used the firm you're are thinking of instructing.

I bought a house in Motspur Park last 24/12/2024 and to date it is still not registered with HM Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my solicitor told me that it can take 12 months to register. I have contacted HMLR directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. What can I do?

get in touch with your conveyancer - if you are not getting sensible responses, find out about their firm’s complaints procedure and amplify your problem to a Complaints Manager. Registrations for Motspur Park conveyancing are not known to be especially complex.
