I own a terraced Edwardian property in Warwick. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Warwick 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 mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I have noted on various online forums that before selecting a conveyancing solicitors they need approved by your mortgage company. I am a FTB but I have an AIP from HSBC and I already have a local conveyancing solicitor in Warwick in place. Does Halifax need an approved lawyer to be selected?

- Proceed with your chosen Warwick conveyancing practitioner but Halifax will no doubt retain a property lawyer from their approved panel. This will result in additional cost and potential frustration.
- Appoint a fresh solicitor to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your solicitor to attempt to join the bank panel.
