It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Townhill. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems.

Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor.

I purchased a terraced Victorian house in Townhill. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Virgin Money. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Virgin Money to clarify?

You need to read 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 Townhill 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 enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

How does conveyancing in Townhill differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Townhill contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Townhill usually purchase 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 conveyancers 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 Townhill or who has acted in the same development.
