I have 70 years left on my lease and need a lease extension for my flat in Gloucester. Conveyancing solicitors on the Platform panel can deal with such extensions right?

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are obtaining a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 18/1/2026 the requirements read as follows :

My wife and I purchased a renovated Georgian property in Gloucester. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to 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 Gloucester 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 buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

I am buying a new build flat in Gloucester. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Gloucester

    The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please supply a car parking plan. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Gloucester before appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to issue a loan on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Gloucester. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Are there any apps to help identify a Gloucester solicitor on the Nationwide Building Society conveyancing panel? I drive a motor bike and am happy to travel upto 25miles to meet the conveyancer.

You can use the tool on this page. Please select a bank and your location and you will see a number of Gloucester conveyancing lawyers located nearest you. We have listed some Gloucester conveyancing firms at the bottom of this page and you can contact them to verify whether they are on the Nationwide Building Society approved list

I need to switch lawyers as my Gloucester lawyer is not on the mortgage company's approved list of conveyancing solicitors. Is it advisable to appoint a new law firm?

In the event that you have not formally appointed a solicitor to do anything for you and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Gloucester that you're considering.
