I have a semi-detached Georgian house in Barking. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Accord Mortgages Ltd to clarify?

There are plenty of short leases in Barking. The lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
