I am selling our property in Riddlesdown and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Riddlesdown lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Riddlesdown. Having lived in Riddlesdown for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I have a renovated Victorian property in Riddlesdown. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Bank of Ireland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for 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 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 Riddlesdown and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Riddlesdown is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Riddlesdown are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Riddlesdown you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Riddlesdown may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I am downsizing from my house. My former lawyers has retired. I would be grateful for any recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Riddlesdown if that makes things easier.
