I have a renovated Victorian house in Boxmoor. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and The Mortgage Works. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Boxmoor 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 mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
How does conveyancing in Boxmoor differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Boxmoor contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Boxmoor typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Boxmoor or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Boxmoor is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Boxmoor are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Boxmoor you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Boxmoor may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Boxmoor?
Conveyancing - in Boxmoor or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re purchasing and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the vendor to fix the defects prior to you move in.
