I have been told that property searches are a common cause of obstruction in Shepherd's Bush conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Shepherd's Bush.
My wife and I own a terraced Georgian house in Shepherd's Bush. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Santander. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Santander to clarify?
You need to 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 Shepherd's Bush 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 purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Shepherd's Bush is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Shepherd's Bush are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Shepherd's Bush you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shepherd's Bush 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.
Taking into account that I am about to spend over three hundred thousand on a terraced house in Shepherd's Bush I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer about myhome move ahead of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
