Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lees and Moorside

It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Lees and Moorside. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Lees and Moorside involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

My Conveyancer in Lees and Moorside has never been on on the Britannia Solicitor Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Britannia panel?

Your options are as follows:

  1. Carry on with your existing Lees and Moorside solicitors but Britannia will need to retain a conveyancer on their panel. This will result in additional total conveyancing fees as well as cause frustration.
  2. Get a new practitioner to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are Britannia approved.
  3. Try to convince your Britannia based solicitor to seek to join the Britannia panel

Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Georgian property in Lees and Moorside. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to read 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 Lees and Moorside and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
