I purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Ramsbottom. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Alliance & Leicester . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Alliance & Leicester to clarify?
You should 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ramsbottom 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 question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
How does conveyancing in Ramsbottom differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ramsbottom come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Ramsbottom usually 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 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 Ramsbottom or who has acted in the same development.
