Can I use your services to recommend a Conveyancing solicitor in Beaufort even if I’m not buying or disposing of a house, for example where I wish to acquire a shop in Beaufort with a loan from Barclays Direct?
The service is primarily there to locate domestic conveyancing solicitors in Beaufort but we have recorded towards the end of this page a selection of Beaufort commercial conveyancing firms. You will need to enquire with the solicitors directly to establish if they are also authorised to represent Barclays Direct
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Beaufort and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Beaufort. We have lived in Beaufort for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have a terraced Georgian property in Beaufort. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Beaufort 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 lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

My uncle has encouraged me to appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Beaufort. Should I use them?
No doubt the ideal way to find a conveyancing lawyer is to get referrals from friends or family who have previously instructed the solicitor that you are are thinking of instructing.
