My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Long Sutton. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Nottingham Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

How does conveyancing in Long Sutton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Long Sutton approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Long Sutton tend to purchase the site, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Long Sutton or who has acted in the same development.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Long Sutton.
