Me and my brother have a renovated Victorian house in Melksham. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Clydesdale. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should 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 Melksham and other areas of 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 buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
How does conveyancing in Melksham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Melksham contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Melksham typically buy 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 conveyancers 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 Melksham or who has acted in the same development.

All being well we will complete our sale of a £375,000 maisonette in Melksham in six days. The management company has quoted £324 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Melksham?
Melksham conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes often requires the buyer’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address such questions most will be content to assist. They are entitled to levy a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is above £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, otherwise the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to sell the property.
