Any lawyer on acting for banks would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. These requirements are not limited to conveyancing in Little Hulton.

Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Little Hulton. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address.

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).

You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
