My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Failsworth. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Bank of Scotland. 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 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 Failsworth and other locations in 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 purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I opted to have a survey done on a house in Failsworth ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can investigate further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Failsworth. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Failsworth
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Failsworth conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
