Me and my brother have a renovated Georgian property in Perranporth. 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 there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Perranporth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
How does conveyancing in Perranporth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Perranporth approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Perranporth usually acquire the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Perranporth or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Perranporth is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Perranporth are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Perranporth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Perranporth may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
We have instructed a Perranporth conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (novice purchasers) and have picked up in the Ts and Cs that they are not governed by the Financial Conduct Authority. Need I be worried or is that the norm with conveyancing practitioner?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancing practitioner don't lend money. They will be governed by the SRA, who dictate strict laws in relation to amounts held in their bank.
