I am in the market for a low cost conveyancer. Should I go for for an internet conveyancer or a local Spilsby conveyancing solicitor?
Generally conveyancing solicitors in your area will benefit from good alliances with your local authority, which can help with the Spilsby conveyancing searches that your solicitor will inevitably need. It can only be a plus if they enjoy strong rapport with the Local Land Registry Office your area Spilsby, other conveyancers in the neighbourhood and Spilsby property agents.
It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Spilsby. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I can't track down the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Spilsby involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
My wife and I purchased a terraced Georgian property in Spilsby. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Chelsea Building Society. 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 address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should 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 Spilsby and other areas of 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 buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Spilsby in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend not give a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.
