Currently in the process of buying a ground floor flat, it's 1 of 2 flats in a converted house.
When viewing the property the seller told us the current freeholder wanted to sell the freehold. We ideally wanted a share of freehold property so this was great for us, so we came to the agreement he would purchase his share of the freehold before the sale went through and we would buy it off him during our sale. He told us that the couple in the 1st floor flat were also happy to buy their half of the share of the freehold, so all worked out fine.
So we were of the understanding that us (ground floor) would own half and the couple in the first floor flat would own the other half.
We've just received the updated freehold transfer docs from our solicitor and I'm a bit worried something weird has gone on behind the scenes. It says:
Transferor:
Name of husband and wife seller of OUR flat
Transferee:
1: Name of OUR seller's wife
2: Name of me and DH
and then listed below as being:
50% to her (OUR seller's wife, not other flat couple)
50% to us
Can anyone tell me what this means please?
There have been a few odd small things so far, so not sure if this is just my mind going into over drive! But it just wasn't what I was expecting it to say?
