Me and my brother own a renovated Edwardian house in Bovey Tracey. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Birmingham Midshires. 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 under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bovey Tracey 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 purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Bovey Tracey I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bovey Tracey in this price bracket, 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 will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
I am an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a house in Bovey Tracey which will be sold. The bungalow has never been registered at HMLR and I'm told that many purchasers will insist that it is completed before they will proceed. What's the procedure for this?
In the circumstances you refer to it seems advisable to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
