I purchased a terraced Victorian property in Boscombe. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Boscombe and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Boscombe I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Boscombe for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
I have been pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Boscombe to locate a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your site over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
