My wife and I purchased a renovated Victorian property in Widnes. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Yorkshire Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Widnes and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
Should I appoint a Widnes conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can conduct the legal formalities but they are based approximately 350miles away.
The primary upside of using a high street Widnes conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and on the whole were impressed that must surpass using an unknown Widnes conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
I have just started marketing my ground floor flat in Widnes. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the invoice as usual as all rents and service invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
