My wife and I purchased a renovated Victorian house in Moston. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Alliance & Leicester . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Alliance & Leicester to clarify?
You should read 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Moston and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I am buying a new build house in Moston with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Should I be wary that 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Moston conveyancing practice?
As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from connections can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may put forward conveyancers to use. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that many banks operate an approved list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your transaction.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Moston. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Moston - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
