Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Mountain Ash is more expensive?

The conveyancing fees for a leasehold premises in Mountain Ash is inevitably higher as compared to a freehold acquisition or disposal.

Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian property in Mountain Ash. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
