Me and my brother purchased a terraced Edwardian house in Lechlade. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to 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 Lechlade and other areas of 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 buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

If you are instructing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Lechlade conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Lechlade conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be of use:

Myself and my husband have recently had an offer accepted on a flat and had meeting on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to choosing a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will have to pay out a further charge of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to appoint a solicitor to act on their behalf in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their fees. I have asked Nationwide to supply me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You can enquire of Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Alternatively please use our search tool and we may be able to identify a property lawyer in Lechlade on the approved list for Nationwide.
