I own a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Sandringham. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barclays . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of 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 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 Sandringham 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 lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Sandringham before instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Sandringham. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Sandringham to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

When appointing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Sandringham conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you speak with several firms including non Sandringham conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be helpful:

    What volume of lease extensions have they conducted in Sandringham in the last 12 months? What are the charges for lease extension work?

Leasehold Conveyancing in Sandringham - Sample of Questions you should consider Prior to buying

    Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge liability? It is important to be aware whether changing the roof or some other major work is due in the foreseeable future to be shared amongst the leasehold owners and will dramatically increase the the maintenance costs or require a one off payment. For many Sandringham leaseholds the outlay for major works are not included within service charges, although there some managing agents in Sandringham ask leaseholders to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for larger works.

Myself and my partner have recently had an offer agreed on a flat and had an appointment on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to selecting a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of lawyers then we will incur an additional charge of about two hundred pounds. This is because they would then have to select a conveyancer to act on their behalf as well as the one we choose to act for ourselves and we are liable for their fees. I have asked HSBC to provide me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. What would be the best way of going about this?

Ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Another option is to make use of our search facility and we should be able to locate a conveyancer in Sandringham on the approved list for HSBC.
