I own a renovated Edwardian property in Diss. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and National Westminster Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. 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 as there may be 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 Diss and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Diss is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Diss are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Diss you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Diss 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 property.
Should I instruct a Diss conveyancing practitioner based in the location that I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can perform the legal work however her office is 400miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Diss conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, present your ID and pester them if necessary. Having local Diss know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were happy that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Diss conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
