Me and my brother own a terraced Georgian house in Faringdon. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Aldermore. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Aldermore to clarify?
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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Faringdon 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 lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Faringdon is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Faringdon are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Faringdon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly.

Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Faringdon may decide 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.

Me and my partner are expecting to exchange on the purchase a property in Faringdon but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated compensation from the seller of four thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet my lender will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
Your conveyancer listed on a mortgage company approved list is obliged to inform the lender of any amendments to the sale figure. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the reduction to your lender then they would have no choice but to refrain from acting for you and the bank.
