My wife and I have a semi-detached Georgian property in Hilton. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. 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 Hilton 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 mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Hilton. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hilton

    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.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Hilton I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hilton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Taking into account that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a property in Hilton I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor about mytransaction prior to instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

Hilton Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Questions you should ask Prior to buying

    How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments? In the main the outlay for major works tend not to be included within maintenance charges, although a few managing agents in Hilton obliged leaseholders to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of establishing a fund for larger works. Where a Hilton lease has less than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to lend given the lease term. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for a couple of years before you are legally able to carry out a lease extension.
