My Conveyancer in Filton has never been on on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd Conveyancing Panel. Can I still continue with my family solicitor even though they are not on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd approved list?

- Choose a new practitioner to to deal with the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel
Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Filton. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Britannia. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
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 Filton and other areas of 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 situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
How does conveyancing in Filton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Filton contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Filton usually 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Filton or who has acted in the same development.
