A relative recommended that if I am purchasing in Totton I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

A search of this type is usually quoted for as part of the standard Totton conveyancing searches.

I own a terraced Victorian property in Totton. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barnsley Building Society. 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 under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

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 Totton 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 lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Totton ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of house.

The Land Registry as a matter of law obliged to note price sold data on the official title for residential properties nationwide which includes properties in Totton. The register of ownership is a public document, so HM Land Registry would be breaching their statutory obligations excluded specific homes such as the property in Totton.

In essence you can make a request of HMLR to hide the amount paid entry however the answer will be a No.
