My wife and I have a terraced Victorian property in Abbots Bromley. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and HSBC Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. 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 for 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 Abbots Bromley and other locations in 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 mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
How does conveyancing in Abbots Bromley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Abbots Bromley come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Abbots Bromley usually buy the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Abbots Bromley or who has acted in the same development.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Abbots Bromley. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as you normally would as all rents and service payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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.
I own a leasehold flat in Abbots Bromley, conveyancing having been completed in 1996. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension?

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
