I have a renovated Victorian house in Port Clarence. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Port Clarence and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Port Clarence prior to instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a loan on this type of home.

I want to rent out my leasehold apartment in Port Clarence. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Notwithstanding that your last Port Clarence conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must seek permission from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

Its a good idea to find out as much as possible about the managing agents as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you are often at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical matters like the cleanliness of the common parts. Ask other tenants what they think of them. On a final note, investigate as to the dates that you are obliged pay the service charge to the managing agents and precisely what it includes. This information is important as a) areas could cause problems for the block as the communal areas may begin to deteriorate where repairs remain unpaid b) if the leasehold owners have an issue with the running of the building you will need to have full disclosure
I dont have enough spare funds to pay a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Port Clarence , but I am anxious proceed. What can I do?
One option is to try and agree a lower deposit. Many property owners will agree to a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
