My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in North Newbald. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should 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 North Newbald and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in North Newbald

We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred North Newbald conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in North Newbald. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part 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).

At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises was built over a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be enough. They will highlight any obvious problems and recommend additional investigation where relevant. Where there are any indications of material issues seek a comprehensive structural survey.
