Me and my brother have a renovated Edwardian house in Ascot. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking TSB to clarify?
You need to assess 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ascot and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
Am I right to be suspicious by estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Ascot conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all put forward conveyancers to use. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that most mortgage providers operate an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
