We are purchasing a property in Bexhill. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to send money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

I have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Bexhill. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to 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 Bexhill and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Bexhill. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bexhill

    The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Bexhill prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can investigate further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bexhill. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Bexhill especially if they are familiar with such properties in Bexhill.

I'm converting the mortgage on my current home to a BTL loan with HSBC Bank and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a deposit on another property. The location we are looking at is Bexhill. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of banks and tie in the two deals?

Do use our search tool on this site to be sure that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panels. On the basis that they are the lawyer should be able to tie up the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you conveyancer and make clear your desired outcome and requirements.
