I decided to go with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Cowes last week. Upon checking the small print I seewe are responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or appoint an on-line lawyer offering no move no charge conveyancing in Cowes?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to cover those transactions that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that such arrangements generally do not protect you from outlay for example Cowes conveyancing search costs.
My colleague recommended that where I am purchasing in Cowes I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Cowes conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Cowes around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Cowes Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Cowes Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Cowes.
My wife and I have a semi-detached Edwardian house in Cowes. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should 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 Cowes 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 purchasers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
