Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Geddington. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. 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 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 Geddington 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 buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Geddington. Conveyancing and National Westminster Bank mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in Geddington who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Geddington conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

This morning I was advised that the vendor needs to send the insurance schedule for the flat above in addition. Why would my conveyancing practitioner want to check the insurance for the flat above? Is it strictly necessary? We have been in hold for the last three weeks…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Geddington to discover Conveyancing in Geddington in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the whole property - which is definitely better. You should double check with your lawyer but it would appear that your property lawyer is attempting to verify that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reconstructed as a result of lack of insurance.
