My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Brackley. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Barclays Direct.

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 Brackley 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 lenders.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Brackley I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Brackley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Brackley. Conveyancing and Nottingham Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Brackley who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Brackley conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound.
