Me and my brother have a semi-detached Victorian property in St Margarets. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and HSBC Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in St Margarets 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 your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in St Margarets differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in St Margarets approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in St Margarets typically purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in St Margarets or who has acted in the same development.
