My wife and I own a semi-detached Edwardian house in Littleport. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess 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 Littleport and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
How does conveyancing in Littleport differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Littleport contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Littleport typically buy 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Littleport or who has acted in the same development.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Littleport and how can you help?
The 1954 Act affords protection to commercial tenants, giving them the right to make a request to court for a renewal lease and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
