Me and my brother have a terraced Georgian property in South Ruislip. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and TSB. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
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 South Ruislip and other locations in 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 mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in South Ruislip I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease.

Should you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you.
