I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking The Royal Bank of Scotland to clarify?

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 Overton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in Overton both have about 50 years unexpired on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

A lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.

Overton Leasehold Conveyancing - Sample of Questions you should ask Prior to buying

    Please note that where the lease has fewer than eighty years it will impact the value of the property. Check with your lender that they are content with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the property for two years in order to be legally able to extend the lease. Does the lease include onerous restrictions? It would be sensible to investigate if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. For example it is very common in Overton leases that pets are not permitted in in a block in Overton. If you love the flatin Overton however your cat is not allowed to make the move with you then you have a very hard determination.

Where there is one, the road should be maintained and look better than council maintained.
