Me and my brother have a terraced Georgian house in Gloucestershire. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and National Westminster Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to 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 Gloucestershire and other areas of 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. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Gloucestershire I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Gloucestershire suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected 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 commence the lease extension formalities 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 about this matter.
I have been pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Gloucestershire to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your services over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any commission for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My cousin has recommend that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Gloucestershire. Should I find my own solicitor?
No doubt the ideal way to find a conveyancing solicitor is to get referrals from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the firm that you are considering.
