Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Market Bosworth who completed the legal work 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Santander. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Better the devil I know or do I try and find a cheaper internet firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you are happy to expend time comparing costs you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £100 plus VAT.

My wife and I own a renovated Edwardian property in Market Bosworth. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Barnsley Building Society to clarify?

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 Market Bosworth and other areas of 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 mortgage companies.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Market Bosworth is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Market Bosworth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Market Bosworth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I only have 72 years unexpired on my flat in Market Bosworth. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is missing. What are my options?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent would be useful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Market Bosworth.
