Me and my brother own a semi-detached Georgian property in Theale. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Theale 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 purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I am purchasing a new build house in Theale benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could put at risk my loan 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.

Is it best to go with a Theale conveyancing lawyer based in the area that I am buying? An old friend can execute the legal formalities however they are based over three hundred kilometers away.

The benefit of a local Theale conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were content that must surpass using an unknown Theale conveyancing lawyer just because they are Theale based.
