I purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Chalfont St Giles. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and The Mortgage Works. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking The Mortgage Works to clarify?

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 Chalfont St Giles and other areas of 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 lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Chalfont St Giles differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Chalfont St Giles approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Chalfont St Giles typically acquire the site, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Chalfont St Giles or who has acted in the same development.
