The Hackbridge conveyancing firm handling our Hackbridge conveyancing has uncovered an inconsistency when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?

Me and my brother have a terraced Georgian property in Hackbridge. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Barclays . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Barclays to clarify?
You should 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Hackbridge 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 lenders.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Hackbridge I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease.

Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
