Me and my brother purchased a renovated Victorian property in Arlesey. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read 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 Arlesey 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 position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Arlesey with the purpose of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Arlesey can be reduced if you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share certificate. Obtaining a new share certificate is often a time consuming process and delays many a Arlesey home move. If a reissued share is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to unresolved. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Arlesey leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord approving such alterations. Should you fail to have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor in advance.
