Me and my brother have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Burbage. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to review 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Burbage and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Burbage is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Burbage are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Burbage you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Burbage may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

The 1954 Act provides security of tenure to commercial lessees, giving them the dueness to make a request to court for a new lease and continue in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Burbage is one of the many areas of the UK in which the firms we work with are located

I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Burbage. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as usual as all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I acquired a 1st floor flat in Burbage, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2010. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding flats in Burbage with a long lease are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2079

You have 54 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as professional fees.
