Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Edwardian property in Henley On Thames. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and National Westminster Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Henley On Thames and other areas of 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 position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Henley On Thames I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Henley On Thames suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I have been pointed in your direction by a number of property agents in Henley On Thames to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers ahead of a competitor’s?

We refuse to make any commission for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
