Me and my brother purchased a terraced Georgian house in Grasmere. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Platform Home Loans Ltd to clarify?
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 Grasmere and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

Grasmere conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes often involves the buyer’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to such questions the majority will be content to do so. They may levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has little option but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.
