I own a terraced Georgian property in Milnrow. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should 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 Milnrow and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies.

Myself and my husband have recently had an offer accepted on a flat and had an appointment on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to selecting a solicitor that if they are not on their approved panel of solicitors then we will be subject to an an additional charge of £200. This is because they will then have to select a solicitor to act on their behalf as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we are liable for their fees. I have asked HSBC to send me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?

Ask HSBC what their criteria for panel membership is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC in the past. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please utilise our search tool and we may be able to locate a conveyancing practitioner in Milnrow on the panel for HSBC.
