Me and my brother purchased a renovated Georgian house in Miskin. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Virgin Money. 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. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Miskin 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 your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.

How does conveyancing in Miskin differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Miskin approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Miskin tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Miskin or who has acted in the same development.

Given that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Miskin I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning thetransaction before appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer due to be carrying out your conveyancing in Miskin.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a matter reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Miskin should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Miskin. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I bought a ground floor flat in Miskin, conveyancing formalities finalised September 2010. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Miskin with an extended lease are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2077

With 52 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as costs.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
