My wife and I purchased a terraced Edwardian house in Cleator. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking to clarify?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease.

How does conveyancing in Cleator differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Cleator come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Cleator tend to 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cleator or who has acted in the same development.
