I have a renovated Victorian house in Kirkdale. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and The Mortgage Works. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Kirkdale and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I am buying a new build flat in Kirkdale. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply a car parking plan. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Kirkdale I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kirkdale suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
