My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Lunt. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
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 Lunt 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 lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

Back In 2002, I bought a leasehold house in Lunt. Conveyancing and Yorkshire Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Lunt who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
First contact the Land Registry to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Lunt conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I acquired a ground floor flat in Lunt, conveyancing formalities finalised August 1998. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Lunt with an extended lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2089
You have 63 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £16,200 and £18,600 plus costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
